Any discussion on search on Lemmy will bring up Kagi as it has been here already. I will just mention that.
A. You can cheat and just keep using a bunch of email accounts to get free trials from them
B. If you do that long enough you'll realize their 300 search plan is pretty fair and having saved preferences is worth a membership and they have an option where you can use crypto to pay your fees and remain anonymous (this is very important to me as the only thing more evil than Google would be to have all your search data, your full name and your credit card info - I strongly recommend the crypto pay option and create a dedicated email address. For Kagi membership).

This reads like a sponsored ad.
Yeah they have a program - for every redditor I get to join I get 100 free searches. For every Lemmite that joins I get 20.
How good is it? I've heard good things but would love a second or third opinion
Why? The trial literally just needs a BS working email address.
