I wish Kagi was not American. I was pretty happy with it until America became a thread

Me too. Kagi is the best of them all, including Google.

The only downside? It's an American company.

I'm okay with forsaking one avocado toast a month for a search engine that actually works, but if I don't feel good about where my money goes then I'm signficantly less willing.

I like spending money on the things I use. The status of paying customer is an enviable position (minus the paying part).
