Spoiler:"Is it good?
No."
I use Kagi but do agree with the three listed complaints about it. Overall happy with it, but would consider something like uruky if it was a high quality search. I welcome the competition and there’s plenty more room since the big boys keep getting worse.
My workplace actually blocks the uruky site.
I accidentally went to Google for the first time in months and was wtf’ing over how many results are sponsored.
The complaints about Kagi are valid, mostly, (there’s always that one guy that runs around complaining that Kagi uses Yandex). But damn I’ve gotten spoiled by the results and the ranking customization…
I am one of the people previously complaining about it. I decided to rethink it and changed my mind. It is not a big enough deal to avoid the service. I tried it for a couple of months, and was satisfied with the results.
I really liked filtering results and boosting them.
In the end I deciding it was not good enough to justify the price, so I ended up with Qwant as my daily driver going forward.
I tried searching for a random YouTuber, the fourth page was for images of their feet, 10/10 search engine
Would give lower score, as this should definetly be on the first page
You really can’t even test the damn thing without paying? Good luck, Uruky.
You can. There’s a search box on the home page and everything.

Search engines shouldn’t cost .5% of your monthly salary
Minimum wage in Germany gets you ~1700€ after taxes, making 5€ closer to 0.3% of your income. Beside that there are so many other things you could save a bit on instead of complaining about a single 5€ subscription for an actually very important service

Good thing that it seems to be made in portugal where the minimum wage is half than that and where housing is currently being set at 50 or 60% of that wage.
How do you feel about ads in your search?
I designed a whole p2p search engine protocol, implemented it, ran it, and nobody cared. Because tech isn’t the problem and ressources are not the problem either. Greed is
Did you have an index of the entire Internet?
I’m assuming no. The crawl itself is pretty damn costly.
I like the initiative, but this is ridiculously bad. I searched for one of the biggest tech youtube channels:
Why not search for youtube channels on youtube instead?
If the purpose of finding content online is the purpose of a search engine, then it does not do a good enough job.

So sad.
But why use this when Qwant is free
operating a search engine is expensive. ecosia finances their stuff with ads. qwant probably too? if uruky comes out big, being independently financed means they could participate in the qwant-ecosia index without risks.
Maybe they should save their money for an air conditioner.
I wish people reply directly to say how this is wrong instead of trying to downvote this to oblivion.
Personally I find this hilarious, considering how true this is.
Who’s vetting these names? I mean what’s next, a Morgul search engine? I don’t want to be an Uruk-hai :(
