About Kagi Search
Kagi Search
Kagi Search combines results from the most popular search engines, then re-ranks them and filters out spam, ads, trackers, and sponsored content. It is funded by user subscriptions rather than ads or data sales. Users can boost, lower, or block sites, use Search Lenses to focus on particular sources, hide AI-generated images with SlopStop, order results by recency, view archived copies of pages, and see page summaries. The page also describes Instant AI answers, keyboard shortcuts, customizable result styles, and a free tier that allows 50 searches without a subscription. Kagi is part of a broader ecosystem that includes Kagi Assistant, Kagi Translate, Kagi News, Kagi Summarize, Kagi Maps, and the Orion Browser, plus Kagi for Teams, Families, and Libraries. The page states that Kagi does not use personal data or prompts to train AI models and does not sell user data.
