A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

https://kagi.com/privacy at least sounds pretty good.
https://blog.kagi.com/safe-round this sound good as well.
The part that I don't get is how they can match Google in terms of search results quality when Microsoft couldn't even get close with Bing and a heck of a lot more time and money.
Easy. Kagi cares about the quality of their product giving you the customer good results. Their product is a search engine. Google doesn't care to make their search engine better currently. Their product is ad placement and sales. You are not their customer.
Kagi already exceeds Google at being a search engine, at this time.
Don't think you will find a better search engine than Kagi. They can't even see what queries users are running, according to their own comments.
That'd be weird if they couldn't, there's no way they can improve their search engine other than by watching the way users use it.
Otherwise it exists in a vacuum.
I would guess they mean that they can't see which queries belong to which users.
