Kagi is a paid alternative to ad-supported search engines like Google and DuckDuckGo. It has recently revised its pricing model, reducing the cost for a plan with unmetered searches from $25 per month to $10.

Kagi boasts the following (and more) features:

Blocking or boosting specific domains in your search results
"Lenses", which are individual setting profiles (e.g. region locks, domain whitelists) that can be applied to search queries
All of the Bangs that DuckDuckGo has (e.g. type "!yt" in front of your query to immediately search on youtube.com)
Universal Summarizer, which works with any website, PDF document, YouTube video and more

This blog post goes into full details about Kagi's capabilities.

I've been using Kagi for two months and I'm loving it - the ability to control your results is amazing. Some things I do:

remove or downrate things like pinterest and w3schools from my results
rewrite www.reddit.com/* to old.reddit.com/*
rewrite to send some sources through archive.today or similar to break paywalls
rewrite to set the language of some sites that GeoIP my location but ignore my language headers

Also, having keyboard controls - like Google used to have - is so welcome, and their AI summarisation tools are actually useful too.

How do you rewrite paywalled sites to archive.today?

[–] Deebster@lemmyrs.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

https://www.example.com/(.*)|https://archive.today/search/?q=https://www.example.com/$1

This takes you to the search results so it's an extra click to get to the actual page.

My actual regex is a bit more complicated since it deals with multiple domains but that's the gist.
