With Google and Bing, we failed - not for lack of trying.

Bing: Their terms didn’t work for us from the start. Microsoft’s terms prohibited reordering results or merging them with other sources - restrictions incompatible with Kagi’s approach. In February 2023, they announced price increases of up to 10x on some API tiers. Then in May 2025, they retired the Bing Search APIs entirely, effective August 2025, directing customers toward AI-focused alternatives like Azure AI Agents.

Google: Google does not offer a public search API. The only available path is an ad-syndication bundle with no changes to result presentation - the model Startpage uses.

and “it doesn’t just act as a proxy for other search engines” it exactly does this, Teclis is <1% of the results (you can see yourself https://teclis.com/)

why they do this? aren’t there lawyers or data experts in US?

I didn’t get that can you clarify

collecting all that data to feed into their latest shitty chatbotm

Proton is good but “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”

you can also do this: append farside.link/

yeah same here I just download and watch it’s very fast actually and I keep videos for 6 moths (in case if they removed)

Tor is used by many countries, both users and governments. The reason for Tor is that it’s not searchable: you need an exact, password-like URL to reach, for example, login pages. This ensures there is no chance another country can spy on or access those communications.

if FBI owns every endpoint why is still there CSAM? why they don’t remove all of them?

why downvote this comment?

"Anna’s Archive is a non-profit project with two goals:

1. Preservation: Backing up all knowledge and culture of humanity.

2. Access: Making this knowledge and culture available to anyone in the world."

Thanks everyone who contributed this great project.

I don’t think so there is a mutual relationship with AI companies and the copyright’s future is not bright
