Kagi has been an upgrade compared to DuckDuckGo for me.

It’s hard to describe but the results are just better, and it loads incredibly fast.

With DDG I always had this 20% wish to have Google back and frequently queries with !g bangs, not so much with Kagi.

Ditto. Basically the only thing I !g for now are maps and other geo-specific queries like the names of local restaurants or stores. Google still outperforms Kagi on those, but for nearly everything else I prefer the Kagi ad-free, ai-summary-onlt-if-requested results.

Same! I tried to switch to DDG at first (5-6 years ago now), but all too often the results were poor and I had to use !g to search Google to get somewhere. Since I started using Kagi, I've never once had that issue.
