We believe AI in Kagi should always be useful: there when you want it, gone when you don't, and never at the cost of your privacy. YOU are in control of your search engine - so now you can turn off AI in Kagi Search completely, with one switch. Try it: kagi.com --> Settings --> AI

Why fetch through clutter when you can cut straight to the chase?
Hand-drawn flowchart. A winding orange path labeled "When you search…" passes obstacles like "AI interruption you can't turn off," "Ads," "More ads," "Suggested products (ads)," "AI mistook your search query for a prompt" then reaches "At kagi.com we cut to the chase," shown by a dog chasing a tennis ball. A clean arrow leads to a "Search here" bar and a single result: "Literally the thing you asked for." Bottom text: "Finally. Search that just works."

@libib.com points its community to Kagi whenever they want a better, mission-aligned search engine, and we're just as happy to point people their way. They organize your whole catalog of books, movies, music, video games, and board games, and neither of us runs ads or tracks you.

You may have noticed that Kagi Translate no longer works while signed out, or that it now shows as offline. Here's why: blog.kagi.com/translate-up... Note: If you have an active Kagi subscription, Translate still works as usual.

Search that works for you, not the other way around.
Dark quote card with a Lifehacker logo. Quote by Jake Peterson: "Kagi is a favorite among tech fans who want more control over their search experience... you can use [its AI features] if you want to, but you can also avoid them entirely—and even use the browser to fight back against AI results on the web."

Since you pay for the service, Kagi makes money when you’re happy, not when you click on ads or share your data to be commodified. It's that simple.
Three social media posts on an orange background praising Kagi search. Gergely Orosz calls it "a paid search engine where you are the user and not the product sold to advertisers." David Vrensk recommends it for those who'd rather pay with their wallet than their "eyeballs, time and sanity." Viktor Glukozavr Kurochkin says he's used Kagi for almost a year and never looks back, preferring to pay a company directly over ad-driven ones.

"Free" search costs more than you think. Someone Googled her hotel, clicked a top result, and was charged $16,559 for a stay that should've cost under $5,000. Scams like these are everywhere in ad-driven search. The most expensive search engine is the "free" one.

The top half shows scattered price tags totaling hundreds of dollars from ad-driven harms like fraudulent sites, sponsored result overpays, wrong hotel bookings, and unwanted subscriptions.

Kagi's April Fools' homepage redesigned as a 1990s web portal, with a bright orange/yellow color scheme, starry border, retro logo, a "Fetch!" search button, nostalgic suggested searches like "Dial-up or ISDN?", sections for blog posts, app downloads, and community links, sidebar ads for Orion Browser and Kagi merch, and a deliberately broken PHP visitor counter in the footer.
