I apologize if this is old news, but I just noticed it. It looks like Kagi has added Fediverse Forums as a default Web search option.
Cool, but I will still prefer to use duckduckgo and type Lemmy in the end of my query.

Kagi is shaping up to be really cool with this and the Orion browser supporting firefox/chrome extensions on ios.
I think when I tried them out a while back they also had a usenet search? Can anyone clarify on this?
They do.
Not sure if you use that feature but does it work like an indexer and allow direct downloads of "Linux isos"?
Just came across https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html . Seems like there are more good reasons to avoid it besides it also using Yandex as an index.
I encourage subscribers to go make themselves heard on this post if you support being able to disable particular indexes such as Yandex.
Thanks for the link, I'll def be more critical about it in the future.
I'll still use it (for now) because as a no-nonsense customizable search engine its by far the best I've tried.
They're definitely stretching themselves too thin, but as long as I get better and more relevant, cleaner, no advertising search results for my knowledge work and research. With my privacy in tact.
Then I'm continuing to pay them for a product I find to be superior than the alternatives.
Eh, doesn't discouraged me from using em. For me is them or Google. As those are the only two useable engines for my type of surfing.
Imagine if someone added that feature to SearX/SearXNG
heres to the painfully slow and gradual rebirth of the internet.
We learned a lot of lessons from the first one. Here's hoping we don't make the same mistakes.
lets see if federation can keep the hawks away. they will certainly be trying (again) once we hit critical mass.
Cool. Wish more search engines would do that.
But, as far as Kagi goes, it's a paid service and it's an American company. So I won't be using them.

It's had it for at least months but even if its years old it's still a cool feature and deserves attention
That's nice indeed! Thanks for sharing.
It’s had this for quite some time
