Kagi seems to be the real deal. I'd say anecdotally it cuts my searches in half (If I had to do 4-6 searches to find something previously, now it's 2-3 max). Sometimes I will find myself accidently on DDG and I'll think, "Wow, why are these results all over the place?" DDG still edges out Google and Bing (actually I think it uses Bing as a backend for certain tasks).

I tried Kagi for a while but it wasn't as good as Google or DDG for me, especially in my native language. Too bad, I'd love paying for search.

I'm in the same boat. The results from Kagi just weren't good.
