> Does it block pinterest by default? ;-)

One of the first things I tried with them. I have the option to down-rank websites I don't like. I can block or lower their ranking.

I saw that in the video on the front page. It looks like a killer feature. I use DDG currently and am starting to get annoyed how Wikipedia is almost always the top result for any broad term.

I'm not sure it's a $10/mo killer feature, though.

> Is there a way something like Kagi can also search google and ddg and ad results to a search then rank the relevant ones based on which ones users click in the results in addition to whatever/wherever Kagi indexes from? (or is that how it works - because the goog crawler is massive and hard to replicate is it not?)

They don’t connect any searches/clicks to user accounts. But you can rank sites yourself like this: https://i.imgur.com/Po7mG7Q.png

I believe it does search using multiple other engines (google, DDG, Bing?) and lots of other ways as well (archive.org searches) but for ranking you have to choose to do that yourself

I think that sort of auto-ranking would require more tracking than they want to do.
