You should use the right tool for the right purpose. If you're searching for a physical place and want opening hours, reviews and photos, it's Google Maps. If you're looking for updates and photos for a physical place, it's Instagram. If it's detailed articles it's Wikipedia. If it's to define or translate a word, right click and "Look up". Or if it's general search, you have Kagi.


My purpose is Search, and I want one right tool for it. I have had one right tool for my entire life - first Google, and then StartPage since ~2017.

I considered Kagi. I like the concept, and I'm willing to pay for search, but Kagi costs more than I'm willing to pay.


FWIW, kagi uses bing under the hood.


I don't think Kagi uses bing anymore: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36530936


Wikipedia? Are you kidding?


What would you suggest instead?


wiki is adequate most of the time for proper nouns.


It's a good starting point.
