I've been using the Kagi search engine for months now and I'm not impressed. I bought into it because there were a lot of posts saying that it was "just like old Google" but this has not been my experience. It's the same as new Google, you can type in what you're looking for exactly and you'll get random sort-of related websites. I remember when you could half-remember a comment from a website, type that into Google,…
Off topic, but ref "I remember when you could half-remember a comment from a website, type that into Google, and get taken to the article you were looking for" It's funny to me that (to my knowledge) no browser (mainstream?) implement this functionality yet. Seems like a no brainer to index what the user have actually seen... (Could even be restricted based on viewport - I don't think it's that crazy of an idea) I kn…

>It's funny to me that (to my knowledge) no browser (mainstream?) implement this functionality yet. Seems like a no brainer to index what the user have actually seen... The answer to this is complicated. Both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge actually implement this. Behind the scenes, both will upload your browser history to the cloud. You can see it in network packet captures. It's implemented in the browser for the…
I wonder if the EU could fine them a couple weeks of revenue for this. Seems illegal.

On the other hand, the additional tools in the Omnibar (calculator is the example most should be familiar with) makes the bar incredibly useful for random daily tasks. Also, it seems that there is an "omnibox" API that extensions can use, which allows them to add their own tools to the omnibar/omnibox. Would be interesting as a form of "assistant" in a way.
StumbleUpon is that you? Jokes aside, it's really nice and I can totally see becoming addictive. Kudos to Kagi team for an other user oriented product. (as a side note, I am using Kagi daily and i didn't know about this tool)
On a similar note, I maintain and grow a manually curated collection of personal blogs with valid RSS feeds: https://minifeed.net/blogs The criteria is simple: human-written (as much as I can validate myself), in English (for now), with valid RSS feed, and not a micro-blog (so, more than just feed of links or short tweet-like messages). Similar to Kagi's Small Web viewer, or StumbleUpon-style viewer: you can get a ra…
A topic that's come up before on here with others doing the complaining about a list I liked for this reason but wasn't top-loaded with tech: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47015676

If only some operating system incorporated a way to make everything you've seen on your computer locally searchable, wouldn't that be a neat feature?
Did even Microsoft try something like this? It's of course something you'd only want running locally

Citation needed... (I'm talking about the page *content*, not the metadata like url and title)
