We've integrated with Surveillance Watch, an interactive database that documents surveillance and spyware entities.
When searching for an entity that appears on their list, we'll display a banner on its domain to alert you that it's a known surveillance tech provider.
Today, we're launching SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search.
Join our collective defense against AI-generated spam and content farms:
On our stats page, you can now view the average queries per second and hear what it sounds like:

Is anyone else experiencing problems with Mullvad's search engine? I find it often throws error messages or is offline completely.
Edit: Answer via Sindarina, link below.
So, next question! If you used to use Mullvad/Leta for search, what are you moving to now?

Since you pay for the service, Kagi makes money when you’re happy, not when you click on ads or share your data to be commodified. It’s that simple. No conflicting interests, no hidden agendas.
The results? Quality search that actually works for you. https://blog.kagi.com/the-many-benefits-of-paying-for-search
Update. New from #COAR ( @coar_repositories): "This paper explores the concept of #semantic #multilingual #search: an emerging approach that retrieves information by meaning rather than by exact wording, enabling users to search in any supported language and discover relevant work across all languages…When you ask a question in your language, the entire world should have a chance to understand and respond."
Kagi's built-in Redirects feature lets you customize search result URLs with simple find & replace magic.
Modified results will include a visual indicator, so you’ll always know when a rule has been applied.
If you're using it, how has this been helpful for you?

Note to Web builders: One of the tiny things I did while wiring Pagefind into the blog was arrange, when you pop open the search field, that that the input has focus so you can start typing. There are plenty of sites I visit where the obvious thing you want to do is type into a search field, but you have to click first, which is just wrong. It’s not hard with basic JavaScript and you don’t need jQuery or anything.

Who decides what information we find on the #internet Online searches are controlled by just a few corporations. A European alliance has now launched the #FreeWebSearch Charter, which aims to return control of searches to society by setting out ten principles: https://freewebsearch.org/en/freewebsearch-charter-calls-for-breaking-googles-monopoly/
Promote free searching: Through your signature, and through personal commitment. With the open web index OWI of the #research project OpenWebSearch.eu, you can even experiment for #search services.
✊ Stay critical!

Domain ranking is one of Kagi's most popular features. Prioritize the sites you love and filter out the ones you don't. Manage it all from your settings, and check out the most personalized domains across the community: https://kagi.com/stats?stat=leaderboard
Seriously thinking of paying for Kagi search. Really been impressed during my testing.
Love to hear thoughts from existing users.
