Description

A privacy-respecting search engine with results augmented by non-commercial indexes and personalized searches. It is primarily a paid, customizable service with no ads.

Reason for adding

For a while now Kagi has been making headlines and is commonly brought up when looking for alternatives to Google search. They recently started promoting the small web and made their plans more accessible. Compared to DuckDuckGo, it has it's own web index and doesn't have search telemetry.
