3 months ago I observed that Kagi was slipping in quality. They admitted it themselves in blog posts and explained that it is happening because Google is cracking down on the grey market providers that Kagi uses to access Google's index.

Well today I'm sad to tell you that it's only gotten worse, will continue to get worse, and there is likely nothing Kagi can do about it until they have their own index.

I'm still using it for my searching but irrelevant sites are slowly taking up more and more of the results. Switching to verbatim reduces the amount of results to almost nothing.

I would pay double to get back the Kagi I first signed up for.

I expect google to ignore what I searched for and change it to something more commonly found. Even setting it to Verbatim did not yield a correct first result:

Kagi used to be so so so good at accurate searching and in the past week or two it really seems like its sadly slipping.
