Same. Over the years I've trialed most search engines out there, but always find my way going back there after at most 2 days of trying them, because I end up adding "@google" before every query anyways because the results are bad.

With Kagi most of the results are what I'm looking for. If they are not, I'll still try "@google", but so far with very few queries Google's results were actually better. The biggest drawback is worse "smart cards" results, but I hope they keep those optional/unobtrusive anyway.

The strange thing is that the feeling Kagi gives me, isn't even unknown. It just feels like Google circa 2010.
