Cool - thanks for the response. I do have a question though - when you say "I didn't want to burn through my limited Kagi trial searches..." How does using your engine overlay not use up the Kagi searches? I found that I still had to login to Kagi in order for it to work - thus using up my limited (100 searches per month) level. Please explain!

On further thought - since I was just trying it out as a standalone tab, and not a default search page, it just felt awkward. However, if I wanted to bookmark it or make it the page that appears when I open a new tab - that would be ideal. Sorry if I unnecessarily inquired too soon.

So what made you create that site? Any plans to monetize it or was it just for fun? Can you mine data from what people are searching or is it fully anonymous?

Like this a lot! Any way to have search results open in a new tab instead of same tab?

Awww. All those grumpy people who now cannot spend money they were going to steal from others. Am I the only one who feels these (or any) tolls go against the right to freely travel?

I use InoReader - excellent and works quite nicely (even the free version).

"Lack of good search engines" could also once again be said about the current state of SEO hijacking. There was a good 10 year period (I guess around 2000-2010 give or take) where you could truly find useful stuff via search.

Today is garbage. Best to use site search on individual known websites.

Very cool - but I discovered something ominous about it. After just a few minutes of the repetitive, infinite music - I began to feel uneasy. I would suspect that being forced to hear this for an extended amount of time could lead to very bad results. Up to and including insanity and worse.

Another angle is - "tech reporters" don't want to touch this because some mysterious blacklisting would result and their digital life would slowly come crumbling down. They're afraid to ruffle feathers.

Actually I'm just wondering specifically why the need to do any of those things. Isn't the phone just fine as a standalone thing? I mean other than maybe exporting photos, videos, or sound to a more powerful and easier to use platform (such as a desktop)...

I think so - aren't there established avenues already? I just don't see why you'd need to do that from a phone... seems backwards

Why do you need to mirror your phone? Why do you want to access your messages? For what purpose? What do you need to backup besides (maybe) photos? Which is easy (drag and drop) anyway. Sounds more like you have some kind of device dependency beyond normality.

Believe it or not, the Blackberry Launcher is solid and a great alternative.

I wonder how long Google Voice will last.
