Kagi is becoming the new google. Same thing, offered in a new package. If there are 100 good results for a query, why always show the same results in the same order?
I disagree. What makes Google Google nowadays is their size. For example, they are full of AI results because these sites optimise until they show up in Google results first pages. Why, because Google owns the largest share of the search market.
Kagi has 30k subscribers, it is totally uninteresting to these AI results farms. This is just one example, but I hope you see my point. I cannot see Kagi beginning to compare to Google.
I think what OP meant was that he dislikes kagi’s search algorithm on a specific ground that also happens to apply to Google. The way it’s phrased is pure trolling though, or clickbait if you prefer.
If you make the same query twice, relatively close together, they give you back the same results.. this is intentional, since it won't consume another search request, and it allows you to return to your search if you didn't find the results you wanted on the first pass through...
They don't save the search results as history, this is simply a short-term cache.
Kagi is different from Google because they have a financial incentive to not serve you AI junk websites with optimized SEO. They're not targeted by SEO companies / optimizers.. and even if they were, unlike Google, you can simply ban the domains. If that domain pops up a lot because it's just an SEO optimized content stealing site, you never have to see it again.
I expect kagi will eventually care about the age of domains and the amount of people that are marking these as junk domains, as part of their search results.. because they have a financial incentive to make us happy, whereas Google has a financial incentive to make us click through multiple websites and revisit their search page, and make additional searches with different words, so that they can serve more advertisements

Because of their “we serve the results as is and you customize the results yourself” policy?
Kagi doesn’t have search history of any of their users, so they can randomize them at best, which makes no sense.
Kagi has exclusivity deals with trillion-dollar corporations and a monopoly on search?
15 years ago, Google search was actually good and returned relevant results.
That seems like a particularly bad faith interpretation of their assertion.
