I’d recommend reading into Kagi’s documentation and how they handle anonymized-but-authenticated queries. It’s pretty sweet.

Unless your ISP is also providing search indexing, I’d posit that effective internet search is not an inherent right to an internet citizen.

You have their word, and it is not like any corporation has ever said one thing, and done another, right? Right?

By pure luck, I have been on the Internet since its birth. I have always been able to browse the internet without paying to search the Internet. Before search engines, they had index pages, for example. Search engines are an improvement, obviously, but also free. So I disagree with your belief that it is not an inherent right, because it always has been.
