oof
And I was just thinking about getting a subscription.
Time to selfhost SearXNG instead.
SearXNG also supports Yandex as one of the many search-engine backend.
[feat] engine: implementation of yandex (web, images) #3733
Note that Yandex has an aggressive captcha, so it doesn't really work with SearXNG in its current state. Tested a couple weeks ago.
Can't you just not enable the Yandex backend if you're selfhosting searx?
You can disable any backend on SearXNG, Stract, 4get or some other self-hosted FOSS alternative. However, for Kagi, there's this feature called lenses, which probably works in the same way as Stract's Optics - not sure if it allows blocking of a particular search-engine service.
Gotcha, that sounds like searx is a good option then. At first I thought you were giving a reason why searx isn't a suitable alternative as the gp comment is downvoted a bunch.
