I’ll try it out for a month, see how the results “feel” compared to Kagi (I fully agree with the points against Kagi mentioned in the article, especially on the focus they seem completely lost recently). So long as I sort of find what I need I’ll probably move over, if only because it’s supporting a European business.
Who’s vetting these names? I mean what’s next, a Morgul search engine? I don’t want to be an Uruk-hai :(
Spoiler:"Is it good?
No."
I use Kagi but do agree with the three listed complaints about it. Overall happy with it, but would consider something like uruky if it was a high quality search. I welcome the competition and there’s plenty more room since the big boys keep getting worse.
My workplace actually blocks the uruky site.
I accidentally went to Google for the first time in months and was wtf’ing over how many results are sponsored.
The complaints about Kagi are valid, mostly, (there’s always that one guy that runs around complaining that Kagi uses Yandex). But damn I’ve gotten spoiled by the results and the ranking customization…
I tried searching for a random YouTuber, the fourth page was for images of their feet, 10/10 search engine
You really can’t even test the damn thing without paying? Good luck, Uruky.
If you create an account it is “preloaded” with one day for free
You can. There’s a search box on the home page and everything.

Search engines shouldn’t cost .5% of your monthly salary
Minimum wage in Germany gets you ~1700€ after taxes, making 5€ closer to 0.3% of your income. Beside that there are so many other things you could save a bit on instead of complaining about a single 5€ subscription for an actually very important service

Good thing that it seems to be made in portugal where the minimum wage is half than that and where housing is currently being set at 50 or 60% of that wage.
How do you feel about ads in your search?
I designed a whole p2p search engine protocol, implemented it, ran it, and nobody cared. Because tech isn’t the problem and ressources are not the problem either. Greed is
Did you have an index of the entire Internet?
I’m assuming no. The crawl itself is pretty damn costly.
Maybe they should save their money for an air conditioner.
