This is something I've really wanted for a while, and the design implementation is far better than what I would probably have gone for. Very nice! Bookmarked as a new Search Engine.

#222Very cool! Not working on my Firefox though (Ubuntu). Had to use Chrome for this one.
Hrmmm, I don't have Ubuntu. What version of FF are you using? Did everything not work, or certain parts? I know Firefox seems to block embeds.

#223I am surprised how much I like this. I was expecting it to be another rehash - but yes, this is nice.

Thank you austin, I appreciate the feedback! I am using Google directly through their paid API, so it is official and legitimate. Not scraping. https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview I understand infinite scroll isn't for everyone. I will add a pagination option later. We have been using and optimizing infinite scroll on my other website picclick.com for many years. People usually like it if implemen…
Wow Is this costing you $5 for 1000 of our queries?

Seems like a power user tool worth paying for. I’m delighted to pay for Kagi.

#226not seeing anything in the twitter column, maybe you have run out your api limits...
Twitter is just an embed. Is it working for you now? Maybe your browser is blocking the embed? What browser are you using?
it's strange, how it's only the twitter column, instagram column once gave me an error message (something about blocking embeds? can't recall) but was at least showing something from instagram, also that went away after a refresh
twitter just has a dull grey background, like the column was left blank or something.

#227I made this my default search to give it a try. I first interacted on my iPhone - was slick. Then, interacted on an ultrawide monitor--so much information at once. I would like the ability to add sources to search. For example, search HackerNews or industry specific websites.
If you give me some more examples, I will add them. I am seeing a lot for hacker news. But how do you think it should be triggered? Show all the time, or show only in certain cases?
For industry things, it would be super helpful if you tell me some exact ones since I'm not in all industries, so I would really know first hand. Thank you!

#229I like it! Nowadays I usually prefix my search with ddg's bang command to narrow my search to a subset of websites. I made a tiny browser extension to include tohe commonly searched sites. What you did is bang command on steroids. Thanks for building it!
I submitted a request[1] to DDG to add a !swurl bang! Hopefully it goes through. [1]: https://duckduckgo.com/newbang

Yes that is the idea, people are already searching multiple sources. I was just thinking of how to do that better with a good simple UX.
Let me know if there are specific other sources you would like!
