Any word on Windows? Despite the discourse around Kagi using Yandex, they did advise me that they are still building thier own indexes that are planned to eventually replace thirds party ones.

I'm still not a huge fan of the overuse of AI, but I do think Kagi is on the right track in a lot of other areas.

edit: I'm in the Linux community.... Ignore the first sentence 😅

What "overuse of AI" are you referring to?

Probably that engines are putting Ai in the forefront of searches lately

Maybe "overuse" isn't the right word. "Over-investment" maybe.

I think the Universal Summarizer and Quick Answer are okay but the Assistant just doesn't do it for me. No one is forcing me to use it or pay for it however and I don't run the company, so it's a moot point...

They've reiterated that AI is central to their mission, I just don't find the LLM interfacing very compelling personally.

So, duckduckgo also uses Yandex, right? I know Bing as their premier, but all these search engines use more than one source. I haven't been able to see where any of them provide their entire list of sources. DDG and Kagi both previously listed Yandex and have since quietly disappeared their mention from their informational pages

The reference used to live here, iirc. They updated the language to say "all major search results providers" rather than listing the actual names as they did previously.
