Feb 27, 2024 - Bangs upgrades, user control enhancements, and colour code widget #

Features

• We've made further progress in enhancing Bangs in the UI. And following the release of our open-source bags repository, the community has contributed by adding and fixing dozens of bangs already! Additionally, we upgraded all bangs to use HTTPS where possible.

• To further enhance user control, we now indicate when there are blocked results for your search queries #2698 @Fernandez)

Announcements

• Kagi Bangs repository is now open source (thanks @Browsing6853 for suggesting this in #481). You can now refine the accuracy of existing bangs or introduce new ones for everyone to enjoy on Kagi Search. Your contributions will enhance the search experience for users worldwide.

• Fresh from Kagi Labs: We're shipping an alpha version of Kagi Sidekick, a search and "chat with content" solution for websites.

  Kagi Sidekick will offer instant site search results, and on-demand AI generated summaries, by tapping directly into the website's content. As a bonus, the website content will automatically (after opt-in) surface as a part of Kagi search index.

  You can see Sidekick live in action in Kagi's documentation.

  

  We'd love to hear your feedback, and how would you use it on your website. We will plan the launch based on incoming demand.

  Visit the Sidekick project landing page to learn more and register your interest for a beta invite. If you'd like to participate in building projects like this, Kagi Labs is hiring part-time contributors.

I've been using this search engine and I have to say I'm absolutely in love with it.

Search results are great, Google level even. Can't tell you how happy I am after trying multiple privacy oriented engines and always feeling underwhelmed with them.

Have you tried it? What are your thoughts on it?
