Vlad from Kagi here.

We did indeed have an infra glitch, that should be resolved by now. Sorry for the interruption.

The status page was indeed useless as it needs to be manually updated with the incident, and we prioritised fixing the issues vs doing this. This obviously needs to change. Any statuspage services that do a decent job at this?

Seems fine for me now. Was getting a 500 after about 5 seconds for a while.

However, some of the regions from https://status.kagi.com/ did work for me, while kagi.com and the Europe regions did not.

I thought it was just me as the status page did not update, these things happen but would be better if the status page was more responsive.

Fully down from switzerland on ipv6 and ipv4, but only for my tabs that are logged in, from private tabs I get the login screen.

For status page, host a simple server somewhere that is not managed by your infra that just do a curl request (or whatever script you see fit, just make it self contained). Have another domain pointing to it. This can help: https://github.com/ivbeg/awesome-status-pages

Gah! I don't want to change my default search engine on all my machines temporarily and then have to change them back once the outage is resolved. Because I know that due to inertia, I won't do it until Google results start bothering me again (that won't be long - hah!).

I type searches in my URL bar across multiple machine and mobile devices dozens of times an hour during "heads down" times.

May I suggest (if browser extension apis allow this) for the extension to fall back to google (or whatever was configured before kagi) if a response from Kagi is not received in some timeout seconds.
