@kagihq Add a way to use the excellent Kagi translation from the global context menu (e.g. mark a text on a website, then use "translate with Kagi" to translate it to the language set in the device). Thank you for your great work, BTW.
@shred Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback, much appreciated!
@kagihq Promote Google-free downloads please.
@kagihq Try hard to get on the approved search provider's list, so Kagi could be set as the default system-wide. I think you meet the user count criteria already.
@oranki Doing our best, but unfortunately there are other eligibility factors we don't meet yet like market share (not just downloads)
@kagihq to be fair, users should be able to set any technically compatible app they want as the default search provider. The current system is a prime example of malicious compliance.
You'll get there! Also really delighted you responded!
@kagihq The long-press menu is missing "web search". Pressing just icon open the app with the last screen and web search on startup. So if you used e.g. "long-press, translate" and later want to search the web again, you need to to use the launcher to exit the app and start it again or eventually find a way to navigate back to web search via some link in translate somehow.
Much more intuitive would it be to have web search in the long-press to switch back.
@linuxcc Thanks so much for taking the time to share this feedback, really appreciate it!
@kagihq
Make it a simple (!) launcher with a search widget, and open Kagi News on swipe right
@koehntopp Neat idea, thank you!
Let verbatim do its job. If I have quoted terms, I expect all of them to be fulfilled. Oh, do I miss #AltaVista.
@kagihq the icon is not your trademark yellow and I forget the app is on my home screen. I look at the icon thinking it is another search provider starting with g..... same goes for the quick search icons in browsers. Celebrate your distinctiveness!
@zooter9 Our brand team appreciates this feedback, thank you!
@kagihq@mastodon.social put it on f-droid.
@kagihq
It it not possible to search two things side-by-side. In a browser I can open tabs and have two searches, but in kagi app I cannot. Would be nice to be able to save a search result to be able to go back and forth between them.
Also, would be nice to be able to define which browser opens the results (e.g., long press on the link). I have one browser that is amnestic and one with history. Different searches need different browsers.
