This is quite puzzling to me, as i also come from Kagi and recently switched to Uruky. I don't really have the same experience of the search lacking. I usually find what i am looking for even if it took some getting used to. It isn't the "old google" that Kagi is so i had to adapt a bit how i search
How did you adapt?
As an example i had a habit of putting a specifying keyword at the end of the search if the original query did not return what i wanted. I find that doing this basically produces the same original search. So i had to switch to adding the keyword to the beginning of the query. Doing this produces at least new results. I would not say i am a power user though, and cannot really explain what i ended up changing too much as it was not really a conscious decision rather than having in the back of my head: "this is not Kagi / old google, don't treat it as such". To me, the idea of my search being even more private than Kagi and in Europe is worth the change in search habits
I'm running into the same thing. The importance of a word seems to degrade with position in Kagi much more than I've seen anywhere else
Brave search seems to be giving me better results than kagi for "free" it feels like, but I wish there was something better and am not sure if I'm willing to add a subscription for a search engine just yet.
Why not just run your own SearXNG instance?
Because then you still depend on external search engines that can still track you?
Fair, SearXNG is only part of the puzzle. I still don't understand how paying for one layer to not track you is any better than connection tunneling and browser hardening.
Because I want independent search to exist, and I want people to be paid to work on improving it.
