I recently (as in just now) bought a month of the Kagi Search engine to give it a whirl. THEN I heard they use Yandex which is Russian and well… Russia and Ukraine. Any truth to this?
Yes they use Yandex along with the others.
Personally I don’t use them.
They also pay Brave for their results
Lmao these losers are paying for brave search results? Just go to search.brave.com its free hahahaha

They use a lot of sources to get the best results: their index, and then others. I doubt much goes to Yandex but they don’t specify.
yandex is about 2% of our total cost, to put things into perspective
I encourage subscribers to check out this thread and weigh in.
I only use Kagi when I can’t find something on other search engines. It often delivers where others can’t. But so far the free 100 searches have lasted me 3 months and I think will likely last me years at the rate I’m using them.
Yandex is actually a better search engine than google (& all this BS about Russian bias is lies) Use it & judge it yourselves, don’t take my word for it (not that my word has any value😅)
