If you want the meta search functionality, you should try out SearXNG, which is basically self hosted poor man's Kagi lol
It really isnt anywhere near Kagi in search quality or results. I think its important to be honest here. If you dont want to pay to search, fine, but you will get much worse results.
Could be fine for your usecase though. Maybe you only search for major sites.
I'd say def try searxng first. It turns out I mainly wanted a clean display of results instead of "better" results then Google. No ads, no ai shit. Kagi was nice but the difference didn't justify a paid service for me, vs selfhosting.
I will say that I find searxng image search to be lacking, same with maps.
How dare you insult SearXNG😂
