Your comment is almost exclusively about kagi and not about an answer to ops question.
The OP asked:
That is was what I answered to. That said, I agree my answer is not 'Vet' specific. So, maybe I was wrong in explaining why I decided to use a paid search engine in order to get usable, quick, not AI-infested and as topic specific as I want them to be results? I don't think so, but anyone is welcome to disagree.
Also, not being native English speaker I considered the OP 'Vet Products' was referring to 'veterinany products' (something I could ignore in my suggestion as being a tad too specific), was I wrong?
That being said, I sincerely want to thank you for taking the time to tell me your point of view as, since I posted my comment earlier I was a bit perplexed by the few downvotes it received. Now, I get it or maybe I still don't, but at the very least I have some clue why it's happening :)
Edit: rephrased the first sentence in a more correct English. Hopefully.
Sorry for being unclear about the way I used "vet" in the title. I can see how that was misleading a little bit. I wanted to hear honest opinions, so if you really like Kagi, I'm happy to hear about it. It's hard enough to find info right now that we may soon is the opportunity to be picky about our information.
Don't be. It happens all the time and that's fine. That said, thx a lot for taking the time. Also note that I'm still not sure it was what you meant. Was it? ;)
Please, do consider my entire comment not just a part of it. What I said is that I do indeed like it a lot and also that I find it expensive and I'm not sure I will renew when time comes. Time which happens to be today and, yep, I'm as unsure today.
People habit of naysaying or belittling opinions they don't agree with makes it even harder to find any trustful info but that's how things work nowadays, that and a seemingly constant drive to try to hurt others through our words.
Regarding Kagi, they have a free test plan, it's limited but it will give you an idea if it's worth anything to you when you want to search for some info you can trust... and it won't matter what I can say, or what any other of the persons speaking in this discussion I apparently started by daring say I liked to use a paid-for service to do my searches. Decide by yourself, that's all you need to get a trustworthy opinion :)
If someone spends money to use a search engine, they will find a way to force that search engine into any conversation they can. It's like how if you spend thousands on a bottle of wine, you'll show that bottle off whenever you have guests over.
