DuckDuckGo No-AI: Private Search Without AI

I want to like and use DGG, but their results miss too much, now use SearXNG, Exa, and Tavily. The return of meta-search may be at hand, performed by agents per-user rather than by a corporation, mainly because I discovered the results per-provider have a lot of unique hits

One of the best features of Kagi is the fact that it makes a call to Kimi AI for queries that end in a question mark. It makes the search experience so much better. DDG is missing out.
