Kagi Introducing Fair Pricing
Better search results with no ads. Welcome to Kagi (pronounced kah-gee), a paid search engine that gives power back to the user.
In months where you don't utilize any searches on your plan, we will automatically apply a full credit to your account for that month. This credit will be applied to your next billing cycle, effectively covering your subsequent month's subscription at no additional cost.
Still costs $5 even if you only make a single search that month....
What if they made it so that a single search per month was fine too? You'd be back complaining that it'd be $5 if you only made 2 searches that month.
It's really hard to set a cut-off here.
I thought I knew how to pronounce Kagi, but their pronunciation guide kah-gee makes me wonder how "gee" is pronounced. Like the G in GIF or like the G in GIF?
If it's a Japanese romanization (which it looks like, but idk for sure), it's almost certainly a hard G as in gator.
When a new startup gets a 4 letter dot com domain name, I have to assume they found an available or for sale four letter domain name that was pronounceable then tried to push some meaning into it. Four letter dot coms are not exactly easy to find. I'd probably not read too much into the word itself.
However, if it is a hard G, that's good, because that's how I've been saying it.
I always found it funny that in Italian kagi is read "caghi" which is a mediumly-rude word for "you take a dump".
Not what you were looking for, sorry for the OT :)
Haha maybe they need to update their logo! 💩
Neither. It's G in GIF.
I love it! Very fancy sounding!
Is there a European version of Kagi?
There's MetaGer (https://metager.org/) which is run by German non-profit NGO SUMA-EV. Instead of a subscription it is a pre-paid key that's consumed per search, so you only ever pay for what you use. The NGO is also part of the European effort to build an OpenWebIndex. Disclaimer: I'm part of that NGO.
Never heard of this before - sounds interesting. However, I just went to try it, and I'm immediately in a catch 22. I have no idea whether the service is any good without adding funds, and I'm not going to add any funds without knowing if its any good.
Neologisms don't get to tell me how they are pronounced. I decide what sounds best, and if others agree then that's it.
Kagi rhymes with Maggie.
Edit: lmao I guess it don't
