“Finally”
You mean, you just noticed a feature that has been there for awhile?

This is great. This was one of things that I disliked about Lemmy, as being federated makes it harder to use external search engines.
I think that might be the final thing to make me switch from DDG to Kagi.

If Kagi were Free (as im Free Beer), Libre (as in Free Speech/Freedom) and Open Source, it were perfect.
But not only it’s not open source, but also it’s paid. I ain’t using nothing FLOSS.

And they use Yandex as part of their underlying search.

At this point, I don’t see why that is any worse than using the services of any US-based Big Tech companies. They have the same kind of anti-privacy business model, their local political regimes have both gone off the rails, and law enforcement and intelligence agencies can legally or extra-judicially snoop through collected data without the user ever knowing.
Some of the services provided by Yandex are, quality-wise, decent enough. I personally tend to find their translation service to be as good or better, as compared to similar services, such as Google Translate or DeepL, so it’s usually my API of choice through Mohzi.

That’s only one of their search engines, they’re a metasearch engine. If you don’t want Yandex, you can simply turn it off from the settings, it’s not that hard.

It’s five bucks a month and has a lot of functionality.

Yeah, and here 5 bucks is more or less the ~110% of the incomes of most here and in a lot of parts of the world. Also, even for those that have not so bad wages, it’s still sort of a 5% to 10% of their incomes.
For me, i.e., it’s much more because I’m unemployed (because of all of the AI crysis, I’m music producer and in my area it hurts so much).
You don’t notice it, but you live in a privilege bubble and speak bullshit from your high horse while most of us are trying to find out how to survive with less than 100 USD a month while the basic food basket is more than 500 USD.

For only 300 searches, that’s 10 searches a day. I do probably 50 to 100 searches per day.
So, it’s really $10 a month.
I might pay $5 a month for unlimited but I’m not sure about that. Because, you know they’ll raise the price if they get successful enough. And, then it’s just enshittification.
