I like kagi, too, but this not a review, is it?

Yeah this is just an ad.

?

Maybe I'm easily deceived, but it looks exactly like what it porports to be to me - thoughts of someone with no affiliation to Kagi apart from being a paid customer after using it for two months.

Given he's used Google since the google.standford.edu days and his opinion of DDG match mine, this was interesting to read:

> search results - easily on-par with Google

Given how Microsoft has failed at that with Bing after 16 years of trying, that's an impressive achievement.

The title used to be "A review of Kagi search", while the article is not at all a review.

OP changed the title but not the article.

Er, why would I write an ad for Kagi? Nothing in it for me! I’m writing up some thoughts having used it for a couple of months. It’s what I do on my blog ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is this a review or an ad?

An ad for Kagi? Just thoughts after using it. Bad title perhaps?

Changed the title. Better?

Yes, I edited the original post to have a new title which gave it a new URL but I can't edit this submission. I've tried to hide it but I have no idea what that means. I've emailed hn@ycombinator.com to just delete the lot :(
