Well luckily for you, they don’t do that. It doesn’t maintain a search history at all which has its pros and cons. The only reason you have to login to use it is to check your payment level to determine your feature access. It is nice that login also allows you to use the same settings for multiple devices. One of those settings I really like is hiding results from certain websites (e.g. pinterest).
It’s either money or your data. I prefer to pay with money. If enough people do, the price might lower (hopeium) or the competition might increase for the same service, creating better or cheaper services in the same space.
I tried Kati last fall because everyone was raving about it.
Now I’m paying $5/month for search and couldn’t be happier 😅
What is Kati and is it actually good?
Edit:
Is it kagi?

Seems like something I’d be into but I’m also not a fan of my search results being logged against me.
What do you mean? That you have an account so your searches are “linked” to you?
Exactly

Sounds ideal, but there’s no way we can ever truly know, is there?
Do you find the limited number of searches enough? I’d do it if it were unlimited for $5, but not going to pay $10 for a search engine.
I do 20-30 searches a day at work, so I definitely need to upgrade (annually it’s around 100$ so not bad at all).
Their Universal Summarizer is awesome too
