    I’m struggling with kagi because I do notike my searches tied to an account/profile (a paid CC and name and address etc.)

    I like kagi but this is making me want to cancel my membership. Thoughts?

      They don’t keep a search history. Your searches aren’t tied to anything, because they aren’t even saved. They don’t have any reason to save them since they aren’t selling any targeted ads.

        This was my understanding as well. It’s the point of paying. However , it is just “trust me bro” right? It’s not like they’ve been audited for not storing user data? Even just basic logging too could hold user info. Honestly no idea with paid search engines, I know so little.

          My confidence is inversely proportional to any evidence you have to the contrary.
