We believe that Kagi's application of AI should always be useful - there when you'd like it, and never when you don't, and always respecting your privacy.\n\nThis took us some time to navigate the right way to communicate this option. We did not want to create a confusing narrative as a company adding a toggle while continuing to invest in AI features elsewhere in our portfolio. But in the end, we want to stay true to putting you in control of\u00a0your\u00a0search engine - so here you are!\n\nWe deeply thank the community for their feedback and patience.\n\nFlip coins and more sports widgets\nBy popular demand, our dice widget has gained the ability to roll dice with any number of sides. We're not sure what kind of games you're playing that need d7s, but we support them now.\n\nWe also added support for flipping coins, which are really just two-sided dice when you think about it:\n\n\n\nWe've added a set of switches on https://kagi.com/settings/more_search so you can disable any of our widgets you don't want to see. The toggle descriptions include links illustrating the widgets' capabilities so you understand what you're turning on or off; go check it out!\n\n\n\n\nOrion browser \u2734\ufe0e\nThis week, we\u2019re launching Orion 1.1 for macOS, one of the most significant updates in our history. This version is built around three major new features (in addition to 170+ smaller improvements and bug fixes).\n\n\nA New Interface \u2734\ufe0e\nWhen Apple released LiquidGlass, the reception was mixed\u2014even within our own team. The demand was there, but we weren't ready to just copy-paste what Safari had done. They had even removed compact tabs!\nSo, we created our own implementation.\n\nContainers \u2734\ufe0e\nJust like Firefox, we now offer containers. What are they? Each tab becomes completely isolated from the others: total privacy and the ability to log into multiple accounts on the same site from the very same window!\n\n\n\n\nA Personalized Browser Border \u2734\ufe0e\nThe current trend is an elegant, transparent border seen on many browsers. The problem is, they don't match Apple's design language. So, what did we do?\n\nAs we usually do: we made it an option! And we took it even further: transparency, solid colors, gradients, and even an automatic color-match with the website for total immersion.\n\nThis option is exclusively available to Orion+ subscribers.\n\nOrion+\nOrion is your free browser, but we offer a support plan to maintain the independence that guarantees your data is not, and will never be, sold to advertisers\u2014or worse.\n\nWe have a dedicated website where you can download all the versions we currently support, as well as any we may support in the future (macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Windows, and Linux): https://orionbrowser.com\n\nKagi News & Kagi Translate\nKagi News and Kagi Translate have both been successes that took us by surprise.\n\nKagi News users from all over the world loved being able to read their news in the language of their choice, stress-free, and even add new topics.\n\nKagi Translate users loved the contextual features that provide a spectacular translation quality \u2014 far beyond what typical machine translation offers.\n\nBut these unexpected successes led to a massive spike in our costs for applications offered for free.\n\nAs a result, we have temporarily removed translations and left access to the articles\u2019 original languages as well as English. Kagi Translate will be back in the coming days as a subscription-based service.\n\nThank you for your patience and your trust \ud83d\ude4f we hope to have everything up and running again very soon!\n\nOther improvements and bug fixes\nKagi Search\nMissing/nonfunctional settings for Kid account #10803 @Acratoseek\nSearching for \"@import\" (with quotes) breaks search #10866 @RandallLeeds\nQuick Answer followup question hangs #10257 @MustafaD\nAny search that begins with \"what is\" shows translation widget before results #10868 @unknown\nMissing/nonfunctional settings for Kid account #10803 @Acratoseek\nIrrelevant trigger of translate widget #10865 @dreifach\nDice Rolling Widget fails with modifiers without space #10834 @adammakesfilm\nFalse trigger of events/sports widget #10908 @dreifach\n\nKagi Assistant\nKimi k2.6 retired in favour of k2.6 Code? #10832 @TimJay\nAllow customization of font size in Kagi Assistant #8863 @the_fork\nKagi Assistant Code blank screen #10844 @JacksonNunley\nSummarization of MP3s fails #10804 @YetAnotherUser\nThe stop button in assistant often doesn't work #9938 @fxgn\nModels specified in URL parameters are overridden by the Default Assistant setting #10084 @ining\nExport to Markdown of large assistant thread omits first half #10858 @jonassmedegaard\nInclude menu option to \"create new folder\" when filing an assistant thread #10879 @lolroger\nEven when the input box is expanded on Kagi assistant, the enter key submits the request #10851 @gm\nAssistant v2 Ignoring Personalized Results #10864 @Dustin\nRestore button for custom instructions for Assistants #9502 @Felensis\nKagi Research Assistant misreads table from website #10901 @ionpac\n        \n        \n        \n          \n            June 16th, 2026 - Search widgets catching up, Assistant starts fresh\n             #\n          \n          Bringing search widgets up to speed\n\nWe\u2019re starting a broader effort to improve our search widgets!  First up: sports scores and dice rolling.\n\nSports scores now show up in a sidebar next to search results, so you can quickly check upcoming games, live scores, and recent results, just in time for the World Cup.\n\n\n\nAnd we\u2019ve also added dice rolling support for all you gamers out there, in case you ever need to roll a d20, 2d4 + 2, or perhaps even 8d6.\n\n\n\n\nThe new Kagi Assistant is here\n\nOver the last few weeks, we\u2019ve been rolling out a new Kagi Assistant experience. Most of you are already using it, and today we\u2019re officially retiring the old assistant.\n\n\n\nThis is more than a visual refresh, we rebuilt the Assistant experience around a new layout, smoother web and mobile use, and a lot of UX improvements that add up quickly.\n\nAnd just as importantly, this gives us the foundation we need for the next set of Assistant improvements we\u2019ve been working towards.\n\nNote: there is one notable change - folders have replaced tags. This means each thread can now belong to only one folder. We appreciate this is a downgrade for users who relied on multiple tags per thread, and we don\u2019t want to handwave that away. We made this tradeoff because folders give Assistant a simpler, more predictable organisation model, and because multi tag usage was relatively low: about 20% of active accounts used tags at all, and appx 4% had any thread with more than one tag.\n\nStill, for those affected, we understand this change may be frustrating. Thank you for bearing with us as we build towards a stronger Assistant experience!\n\n\nKagi Translate update\n\nWe've paused free access to Kagi Translate while we sort out running costs, so you'll need to be signed in to use it. If you have an active subscription, Translate still works. Sign in on translate.kagi.com or in the mobile apps.

Tweak colors, fonts, and layout, hide elements you don't need, or apply a community theme for a search experience that looks exactly how you want.\n\n\n        \n        \n        \n          \n            May 21st, 2026 - Search API preview opens to all users\n             #\n          \n          Kagi Search API is now in public preview\n\nToday we\u2019re making the Kagi Search API preview publicly available, giving builders access to Kagi search across web, images, videos, news, and podcasts. The API is ready to use today, and we\u2019re using this preview to transition existing beta API users, collect feedback, and finish the remaining launch details before the official announcement.\n\nAs a thank you to our subscribers, we\u2019ve added $5 in API credits to your account. You can use them right away to try the API, explore what\u2019s possible, and see how it fits into your workflow. \n\nExplore the API, read the docs, and check pricing to get started!\n\n\n\nThe API is not just a generic search endpoint, queries can inherit the preferences attached to the Kagi account behind the API key, including lenses, upranks, downranks, and blocklists, so applications can search through the same trusted and filtered view of the web that users have already shaped in Kagi.\n\n\n\nPlease send us candid feedback: what\u2019s confusing, missing, broken, or unexpectedly good! Try it out! \n\n\nSearch\nIncognito-only mode for Privacy Pass\nOur Privacy Pass extension, which allows you to prove to our servers that you're a subscriber without revealing your identity, has gained a long-awaited toggle that makes it active only in incognito windows, so you can benefit from personalized results most of the time but have added anonymity for your more sensitive browsing. The extension was almost completely rewritten in the process, squashing several long-standing bugs.

It is a place for Kagi members and our fully remote team to work, trade ideas, and build the tools we all wish existed.\n\nWe are looking forward to welcoming you to Kagi's first ever Hub!\n        \n        \n        \n          \n            Nov 20th, 2025 - Introducing Quick and Research assistants\n             #\n          \n          Kagi Assistant\n\nIntroducing Quick and Research assistants\n\n\n\nToday, we are officially introducing Kagi Research assistants (previously known as \"KI\"). Read our full announcement here.\n\nTheir main strength is research: identifying what to search for, executing multiple simultaneous searches (in different languages, if needed), and synthesizing the findings into high-quality answers.\n\nSimply choose whether to prioritise speed or depth:\nQuick optimises for speed, providing direct and concise answers.\nResearch focuses on depth and diversity, conducting exhaustive analysis for thorough results.  Research is available to Ultimate subscribers only.\n\n\n\nTo achieve this, they employ different base models for specific tasks. We continuously benchmark top-performing models and select the best one for each job, so you don't have to.\n\nAnd on top of web search, we\u2019ve added new behavioural layers and a wider toolset, including Python execution and image generation for higher-quality answers. These capabilities go beyond what was already possible in Kagi Assistant using a base model with web search. See our documentation for the full details.\n\nFinally, a huge thank you to everyone in our Discord for beta testing this with us and providing tons of feedback along the way! \ud83d\ude4f \n\nNote:\nWith this change, we set the Quick assistant as the default mode in Kagi Assistant. You can always adjust this in your Assistant Settings. \nAdditionally, we plan to migrate the q bang, currently used for Quick Answer, to trigger an Assistant thread targeting the Quick assistant.\n\nLLMs are bullshitters. But that doesn't mean they're not useful\n\nYesterday, we published an opinion essay exploring the useful yet disruptive nature of LLMs. Give it a read and let us know what you think https://blog.kagi.com/llms\n\nColour code your Assistant tags\n\nNow you can assign icons and colours to your tags. Spot important threads instantly.\n\n\n\nOther improvements and bug fixes\nRetired a handful of models. As part of a regular process, we occasionally review and retire models that are not used by Kagi customers and have been superseded by better, newer models. Saying bon voyage to: gpt-oss-20b, gpt-4-1-nano, gpt-4-1-mini, gpt-4-1, o4-mini, o3, grok-code-fast, mistral-large, deepseek-r1, and hermes-4-405b. In the future we will forecast these changes with more advanced notice.\nVarious untranslated Kagi Assistant texts #5328 @MonoMatrix\nKagi Assistant - work on relationship between Custom Assistant and Model in the UI #8327 @RobOK\nShow more info in dialog when using Kagi Assistants  #8335 @Thibaultmol\nCase-agnostic alphabetical sorting for assistant tags #8967 @lolroger\n\nKagi Search\nSlopStop Update\nLast week we kicked off our SlopStop initiative.

This allows our community to directly improve search quality for everyone! Read the full announcement here!\n\nLow-quality AI content is flooding the web. Kagi\u2019s ranking already downranks and filters much of it. SlopStop gives you a simple mechanism to help us keep results even cleaner and more authentic.\n\nHow it works:\nIf you see low-quality AI content in web, image or video results, click the shield icon next to the result to report it. If something is flagged in error, use the same control to report the mistake.\nCheck your reports statuses in Settings.\nWe verify reports alongside our own signals. When a domain or channel is confirmed to primarily publish  AI content, we deprioritise it in Kagi.\n\n\n\nYou can read more about this initiative in our annoucement blog post or in our documentation.\n\nHighlighting surveillance actors\n\n\n\nWe've integrated with Surveillance Watch, an interactive database that documents surveillance and spyware entities. When you visit a domain on their list, we'll display a banner to alert you.\n\nOther improvements and bug fixes\nResults show centered despite the setting being set to \"Left\" #8886 @vaartis\nFeedback on the new Quick Answer experience on mobile #8729 @Jesal\nAdd option to auto trigger Quick Answer when submitting an edited query in which Quick Answer previously was used #6769 @RoxyRoxyRoxy \nInfo panel display on 13# laptop #7810 @kirkmc\nQuick answer doesn't work when Privacy Pass is enabled #8731 @laiz\nBlocked Domains still show up in video results #8694 @MCWhitaker\nTimer auto started when searching for usb/spi device id #8216 @kagi6741\nThe !cpp bang doesn't work #8699 @exzombie\n\nKagi Assistant\n\nDocument search sources individually #8041 @Diniboy1123\nKi Says It Can't Edit Images #8705 @iamjameswalters\nQwen-3-235B code formatting broken #8840 @crhallberg\nCopy-paste of Assistant text on mobile accidentally selects all prompt titles out of view #6701 @sshine\nThe \"X\" button in Assistant settings should go back to Assistant #6985 @fxgn\nDragging to select text can resize divider bar in Kagi Assistant #8843 @CameronLittle\nKagi Assistant with Kimi K2 ignores accepted answer on a Stack Overflow page #8857 @scorchio\nQwen-3-235B code formatting broken #8840 @crhallberg\nIncorrect reference numbers in assistant response #8677 @Arahizzz\nDon't copy 'thinking' process #6535 @Thibaultmol\n\nKagi Maps\n\nImproved preloading of POI data\nCaching maps search results #8068 @Boomkop3\nMap doesn't recenter after dismissing sidebar #8099 @tuesday\nClicking a POI on the map seems to selects closest match, not actual POI #8317 @Cybolic\nKagi Maps ignores 24-hour clock preference and shows 12-hour times #8560 @Gilfoyle\nMaps will open POI after dragging or zooming if any finger lifts while touching a POI #8847 @Lousy\nRestaurant search near poi seems to miss a lot of locations #7608 @Thibaultmol\nGlobe off-centre when zoomed out. #8291 @tsr\nAn option to submit corrections to the map #8281 @Boomkop3\nMake sorting preferences stick across searches #8198 @Boomkop3\nThe after-login redirect doesn't work for maps or assistant #8407 @Boomkop3\n\nKagi Translate\nRedesigned dictionary\nTranslate renders the word \"IBAN\" using four different fonts #8720 @arty\nAdd Scottish dialects #8850 @dreifach\nRSS feed for Kagi Translate Extension updates #8892 @BattleHawk\n(More) Chinese localization tweaks @CTAO\n\nKagi News\nImproved story filter to prevent generation of mundane news (non-news) @petelingo\nLess emotional/screaming TTS @hsiktas\nChaos index experimental feature broken on mobile @xytronix\nSearch and content filter should consider sub-category @laiz\nUSA | Austin, TX category returns a 404 when navigated to directly @loganmccaul\n\nKagi Summarize\n300+ languages added for mobile users\nImproved layout for right-to-left languages on mobile\nLiquid Glass design for iOS users\n\nPost of the week\n\nHere is this week's featured social media mention:\n\n\n\nFollow us on your preferred social media platform and tag us with your feedback!\n        \n        \n        \n          \n            Oct 23rd, 2025 - Go deeper with Quick Answer\n             #\n          \n          \nQuick Answer gets an upgrade\n\nIf you use Quick Answer on Kagi Search, you already know it finds relevant content fast.

You\u2019re just paying with something else. Read why paying for search is worth every penny.\n\nIndustry News\nThe true cost of \"free\" ad\u2011supported search isn't mere annoyance, it's also real loss of money and time. A CBS Chicago segment shows how scam ads are flooding results and hurting users. That's why Kagi is and will always remain ad\u2011free.\n        \n        \n        \n          \n            July 31st, 2025 - Kagi Assistant gets tags, bulk actions, and much more\n             #\n          \n          Kagi Assistant\n\nThis week's release brings several big updates to Kagi Assistant, laying the groundwork to exciting new chapters ahead.\n\nIntroducing tags\nTags let you organise your Kagi Assistant threads. Each thread can have multiple tags.\nYou can use the Temporary tag to mark any thread as temporary, and it will auto-delete 24h after its last update.\nIf you use Kagi Assistant in 24h mode, all new threads will be tagged as Temporary by default. When you remove the Temporary tag, that thread will be saved.\nWhen you create a thread while viewing a specific tag, the new thread will automatically inherit that tag.\nThreads without a custom tag, such as all your currently saved threads, appear in the All folder.\n\nLearn more on our help page.\n\n\n\nBulk managing threads\nWe've also made thread management easier: select multiple threads and either tag them or delete them permanently.\n[upl-image-preview url=https://kagifeedback.org/assets/files/2025-07-31/1753986178-528658-image.png]\n\n\n\nModel picker\nThe model picker now features a curated set of base models that we believe deliver the strongest performance, helping you choose the best option for your specific task. We continuously update this list using our own in-house benchmarking.\n\n\n\nDefine your default Assistant\nYou can now define your default Kagi Assistant model, as either one of your Custom Assistants, a base model or the last used model. Every new thread you create will start with that default model.\n\n\nRemoval of context windows limits\nKagi Assistant no longer enforces context window limits. We include all available information, and if we reach the model\u2019s maximum size, we carry forward relevant context so it remains available for your next instructions.\n\nPlus many other fixes and improvements\nLLM selection drop-down menu filter issue #7739 @dreifach\nI don't know which language model to choose in Assistant #7538 @Recast\nVarious Mistakes in Assistant Model Descriptions #7685

Instead of $1 always being the first word and $2 the second, you can now define exactly how your query is split to create more powerful shortcuts.\n\nFor example, to create a custom translator for a query like !tr spanish live long and prosper, you can now separate the language from the text. In your Custom Bang settings, you would use:\n\nTemplate: https://translate.kagi.com/?to=$1&text=$2\nRegex: (\\w+)\\s+(.*)\n\nThis pattern tells the Bang to use the first word for $1 and the entire rest of the query for $2. If you leave the Regex field blank, your Bangs will continue to work as they always have. We're excited to see what you build with this\n\nOther bug fixes and improvements\n\nSite ranking radio buttons have no accessibility labels #7412 @mehgcap\nQuick answer bang doesn't work with snaps #5166 @Jesal\nKagi Snaps do not default to domain of custom bang template #6301 @__\nDate fields cut off in Safari on iPad #7306 @kirkmc\nGive error bang shortcut field empty after sanization #7202 @Thibaultmol\nIPv6 address displayed off screen #6659 @hugh198\nColor picker copy button cuts off text #6464 @Numerlor\nPlease add support for  -intitle:_____   to exclude results with _______ in the title #2094 @conf4tti\nPlease scrape the ads/trackers data again #4484 @smspoolnet\nOn iPhone, it is difficult to edit search field when text is too long #7498 @patrick-nicholson \nKagi's reverse image search is noticeably poorer than other providers #6760 @RoxyRoxyRoxy\nQuick answer wrong when asking the same question twice #5506 @igc \nButton cut off #7356 @Boomkop3 \nReverse Image Search Icon Appears Wrong in Search Interface #7459 @Reuzehagel\n\nKagi Assistant\nSummarizer is unable to retrieve arXiv PDFs #6988 @mrzv \nLaTeX Inline Math not rendering (Gemini 2.0) #7099 @Krishy\nThe Assistant doesn't seem to quote top search results when searching manually #5615 @uppercuts8\nShow error if python code failed in Assistant #6884 @Thibaultmol\nMobile viewport doesn\u2019t account for keyboard in mobile  #6961 @chrskerr \nAdd hover and focus state to assistant buttons #7454 @kevin51jiang\nKagi Assistant doesn't always render LaTeX code. #7449 @bhagwad\nOpus 4 thinks it's Sonnet 3.5 #7189 @WhatMatters\n\n\nKagi Translate\nProofreading mode improvements (statistics tab, apply/revert corrections, hover to find correction in text/list, all corrections now have explanations)\nAdded virtual keyboard for some alphabets\nLanguage-specific tweaks for Russian, Estonian, Sami (All variants), Afrikaans and Cherokee.\nFix \"Sorry, I cannot complete this request\" censorship for some queries hyacinth\nTTS using the wrong accent fbkagi rrmiguel\nEnable output controls after text is processed, even if other features are not azdanov\nRegression in RTL support kaguru\nAM/PM vs 24H clock setting nichu42\nTTS not playing on iOS if ringer is muted snowytrees\nTranslate is vulnerable to being prompt injected Colonial\nTranslation refuses to translate text that is censored in China JP Discord User/Hanbyeol\nSome symbols are escaped as HTML chars in translation UserOfOrion\nLanguage detection thinks that [\u30a2\u30e9\u30d3\u30a2\u6587\u5b57] arabic text instead of japanese JulianGro\nTop bar in mobile Orion/Safari does not follow theme artem\nAuto language switcher not working when pasting output text in source box Anonymous22\nKorean locale tweaks Hanbyeol\nRemove Sami dialects which are meaningless, only keep northern and sourthern variant Hanbyeol\nAdd login button redirecting to kagi.com on mobile kotaro\nLanguage switch to Norwegian is broken #7510 @Temanor\nSetting to have \"Detect Language\" as the default source language #7511 @Temanor\nTranslate screwing up HTML code for < and > symbols #7436 @carl\nTranslate makes up meanings for short/invalid words #7405 @Numerlor\nContext Field in Kagi Translate Causing Internal Error #7543 @TusedayGhost/@cictao_85080\nTranslation quality is subpar while detecting the language of the text for the first time @cictao_85080\n\nKagi Android\nGitHub Authentication in Android App Broken #7111 @Tbusk\nAndroid app: pressing \"back\" on the main screen doesn't exit app #7210 @Ronzino \nSharing url with the android app summarizer results in \"sanitized\" strings #7201 @Ronzino \nAndroid app: Tapping on completions usually does nothing #7205 @urrlich\nAndroid app: Speech input broken in both assistant and translator  #7206 @urrlich\n\nKagi Maps\n\nMap search should prioritize locations on screen, nearby, or selected in search options #7362 @vaartis\nKagi Maps can't find  address #7324 @Bokai\nMap compass W/E swapped on rotated view #7437 @Numerlor\nOSM layer doesn't load when switching on closest zoom level #7463 @Numerlor\n\n\nKagi on socials\nHere is this week's featured social media mention:\n\n\n\nTag our accounts or use #Kagi when mentioning us in your posts!\n\nKagi in the news & around the web\n\nKagi is highlighted in an article by Ars Technica discussing the potential impact of a search engine spinoff from Google.\nKagi suggested by Mark Frauenfelder on the latest issue of Recomendo.\nReview of Kagi by Olly Headey.\nOrion mentioned on Lifehacker on a list of best browsers for iPhone.\n\nKagi for Libraries\n\n\nWith the Kagi for Libraries program, we'll offer free access to Kagi for public library patrons worldwide \ud83d\udcda\n\nIf your library is interested or you know a local public library that could benefit, encourage them to apply and help us expand this program.\n        \n        \n        \n          \n            June 9th, 2025 -

Read with Kagi Translate.\nFrench tech site Just Geek featured an article about Kagi's many features and how it might make you \"forget Google.\" Read with Kagi Translate.\nOMG Ubuntu covered Kagi's Orion Browser and its usage of GTK4/libadwaita for its Linux launch.\nKagi Assistant was mentioned on Computer World's \"20 genuinely useful AI apps for Android\" list:\nBeyond basic queries, its $25-a-month Ultimate plan includes access to something called the Kagi Assistant, which lets you access the underlying intelligence from Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI engines in a single streamlined spot and with the added advantage of complete privacy and custom filtering to help refine the results.\n\nLiam Proven of The Register gives a shout out to Kagi in a piece about the enshittification of search:\nAnother option is to pay for your search engine. We've already mentioned Doctorow once, but his post about Kagi \u2013 a no-ads, no-tracking search engine with a tiered payment model \u2013 from a year ago makes interesting reading. The idea has gained traction with others, including Daring Fireball's John Gruber.\n\nKagi shout outs\n\nKagi is described as being best for \"power users and professionals who want fast, curated, ad-free results\" in a post by Maple Web Design.\nAlan Jacobs shares a concise review of Kagi:\n\nGoogle\u2019s search results have become so bad that I recently subscribed to Kagi, and so far it\u2019s been great.\n\nHave a site or blog and want to have an easier way to search through its archives? This post outlines a good use of Lenses to make that easier.\n\nA Lens will focus Kagi\u2019s search on one or more (up to ten) particular sites, date ranges, regions, keywords, or file types. You can also exclude sites or subsites. Kagi has several default Lenses, and you can add your own customized Lenses:\n\nKagi is used as an example for why it's important to pay for what you love, and how it helps align the incentives between the user and the service provider:\n\nIn order for Kagi to make more money, they have to make search quality better. By adopting a subscription model, Kagi has fundamentally aligned the goal of the service with providing excellent search. This is why a subscription-based service is the most likely to keep its users satisfied over time, and why \u2014 if you care, and if you have the choice \u2014 you should choose to use a subscription-based service over other offerings.\n\nAlong those same lines, Liu Miao writes about how paying for search offers a different perspective on using the internet:\n\nIndeed, our generation grew up with the internet, and search engines have been free since their inception. Why pay to use one? But looking at it from another angle, if search engines have been free for over twenty years, then who has been paying for me all this time?\n\nAnd noting specifically about Kagi: \n\nI hope to see more products like this in the future\u2014products that treat users as users rather than as products.\n\nIndustry News\nThe latest developments in the tech and search industries that captured our attention and reinforces our mission:\n\n\nMark Zuckerberg\u2019s AI ad tool sounds like a social media nightmare\nGoogle agrees to pay Texas $1.4 billion data privacy settlement\nYouTube announces Gemini AI feature to target ads when viewers are most engaged\nGoogle is stuffing even more ads into its AI results\n\nHow search engines should feel\n\nIn collaboration with artist Chaz Hutton, this illustration captures how using a search engine should feel: straightforward and focused, guiding you directly to what you\u2019re looking for.\n\n        \n        \n        \n          \n            May 6th, 2025 - Video search upgrades, enhanced Kagi Assistant experience and more\n             #\n          \n          Search\n\nVideo search upgrade\nVideo search now pulls from more sources and shows richer data:\n\n\nAnd other bug fixes and improvements,\nColour picker does not show correct colour on desktop with Zen Browser #7001 @larke12 \nKagi Search: Translate Button Accidental Taps on Mobile #6994 @slanderous-mambo\nWeb search results broken in Safari #6773 @Wildpixels\n403 when privacy pass is active #6793 @jlnslv\nMissing special characters on search results #6876 @NeilCarvalho\nSearching \"people who know\" incorrectly includes images of the pope #6965 @mon \nInconsistencies in Search Settings Descriptions : Period Usage and \"Whether or Not\" #6991 @Hanbyeol\nRaw href text appears in bang popup #7017 @erakura\nShows likes and dislikes for videos #6998 @holybaechu\nSearching \"people who know\" incorrectly includes images of the pope #6965 @mon\nInvalid token error on private window in Brave, Firefox #6906 @private-kagi\n\n\nKagi Assistant\n\nThis release packs important upgrades to make your experience smoother and more customisable:\n\nAdjustable sidebars: on desktop, you can now resize both the primary and secondary sidebars to fit your workflow\n\n\nMobile revamp: we've upgraded the mobile experience for better usability and flow.

The full rollout is scheduled to be completed by Sunday, 23:59 UTC.\n\nWith this release, we are beginning to enforce our fair use policy to ensure a sustainable, high-quality service for everyone as we expand access. Basically our policy states that you can use AI models based on your plan's value. For example, a $25 monthly plan allows up to $25 worth of raw token cost across all models (there is a 20% built-in margin that we reserve for providing searches, development and infrastructure for the service). This impacts only a very small percentage of users with extremely high usage patterns and is a simple way to control usage, compared to arbitrary usage limits. Our goal is to ensure broad availability without users needing to worry about typical usage. Affected users can currently renew their cycle instantly, with more flexible credit top-ups planned soon. \n\nWe're very happy to offer Kagi Assistant as another optional tool to support your work and exploration online. Let us know what you think via our feedback forum or Discord!
