• SearXNG is probably at the very core of Kagi; with a bunch of extra code and UI on top of it. Bangs work as well as lenses, including external bangs. If you can dream of an engine; you can use it with SearXNG; creating an engine with it is documented well.

    I promise any single thing Kagi can do that SearXNG can’t or won’t; won’t matter. SearXNG is superior to Kagi in every way by cost, and by being free, open source, and functionally all you need.
