| That's reductive.
|
| _"Kagi Search includes anonymized requests to traditional
| search indexes like Google and Bing as well as sources like
| Wikipedia, DeepL, and other APIs. We also have our own non-
| commercial index (Teclis), news index (TinyGem), and an AI
| for instant answers. Teclis and TinyGem are a result of our
| crawl through millions of domains, focusing primarily on non-
| commercial, high-quality content."_
|
| _"Our unique results combined from all of these sources help
| you discover the best content you can possibly find online,
| sometimes from the quieter places on the web."_
