I hope this question is allowed here (since it is one of the search engines that i now use instead of google). I'm trying out Kagi. For the trial, you get to have 100 free searches, i belief. Is there a way to see how many searches i used up? I can only find stats for Kagi, not for my personal stats. How do you all like Kagi? And if so, do you pay for it? I'm considering paying, but i would like to have some insight into how many searches i actually perform on average in a month time. I honestly have no idea. What i also do lately is ask a question to a LLM (i found Petal), so that i have a start on where to search for more precisely. Sometimes, i get incorrect answers, but often it helps me get more of a handle on what i should be looking for when using a search engine. For example, i switched to Linux and Petal helps me understand some things better, which i can then use to do a more precise search.

Yes: https://kagi.com/settings?p=billing

I like Kagi a lot, as it's the only search engine where I don't find myself falling back to Google because of bad results. I'd say the results are better than Google. Of course you also get some nice features like manually ranking pages. The only problem is they broke the iOS Safari extension in an update a few days ago, so searches sometimes don't use Kagi, but I'm sure they'll fix that soon.

You have to install the new Kagi extension from the Store

I know, same problem though. I already contacted their support, it's a known problem.

Disabling then reenabling the extension fixed the issue for me

Awesome, thank you for the link! Yes, so far i like it a lot, so i might upgrade. Apparently, i do more searches then i thought!
