It also can't fetch more than 2 pages of results for either web or image search. Reverse image search just straight up doesn't work. I don't know why they have it.
With searxng, searching at least works. It also has plugins that I think can do some of what Kagi is useful for (but it depends on the instance)

I can't speak for image searching, but I found when I get limited results from Kagi, The other search engines that produce More results just pad those results with noise. Sometimes I'll do a specific search and have no results on Kagi, so I switched to another engine justified I have thousands of unrelated results

Yeah, that's been an increasing problem.. Google has been especially bad with this for a while now.
When I tried to search for something where I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for, I could only change my query so many times until it stopped being what I wanted.
I came here to suggest Kagi. I bloody love it. No ads, ability to remove or downgrade or promote particular sites, lenses, I love it all.
Your comment - honestly, hand on heart, I can’t remember the last time I paged through beyond the first page of any search engine. I didn’t even know Kagi had this “problem” and so I guess I just don’t see it as a problem. But then I realised I’m absolutely in that bit of “must be on first page” internet lore, too…

Took me a while before I actually realized this limitation as well. I started noticing it when I was searching for things I didn't know exactly how to find.
Kagi is great for when you know exactly what to find and have a general idea of where, but when you actually need those n-page results to help you refine your search, and you can't, it's a showstopper for me.
I'm not even sure why it's a limitation. It might not be intentional?
