Google is absolutely terrible for anything even closely controversial. Their algo is too bias towards approved sources and recency.
Another crazy thing, I'm starting to use Microsoft Edge because the feature set and performance is actually really good! I've even convinced other devs at work to use edge, and we're all mac users. The read aloud feature has changed how I consume information completely - mostly because microsoft has text to speech voices that I can actually stand. It's an absolute game changer.
I looked into this, but you have to sign up for an invite, and they first demand you give them a bunch of information. I bailed at the second question. "what do you want in a search engine". How about not making me answer questions to use it?
I give them the benefit of the doubt that they are trying to create a good product and are truly interested in understanding user needs. afaik they are planning on making the search engine a paid product. Which I'm okay with. I seriously plan on paying for it if it's a good price. For some searches, I genuinely feel like I have a leg up among my peers because I'm able to find higher quality relevant information much faster using kagi.
* Google - shopping, consumer oriented, up-to-date local content on restaurants and venues
* Google reddit - product reviews, product issues, programming, local "issues"
* Kagi - for informational, programming help, research, politics, anything controversial
* Bing - for video
