Well, by accident I spotted a 1998 file named Greg Bear's Pep Talk.doc in Time Machine on my Mac and decided to use #Finder to find it.
Nope.
After plenty research on how-to, some Apple, some Stack Exchange etc., I've come to the conclusion that Finder #Search is broken. It won't find the file even if it is the default directory for the search, and certainly not when searching This Mac.
I found a tip to use Spotlight (I have Tahoe installed). #Spotlight actually works like a charm, finding by the time I typed the b in Greg Bear. What gives, #Apple? Are you abandoning Finder Search?

Interesting study (thanks @jeffjarvis ) on #ChatGPT and #Google #Search.
Links when you search for content:
„… in the United States, where Google results leaned more toward Brand content at 32.9 percent and Social at 15.4 percent, while AI search emphasized Earned content at 92.1 percent with negligible Social references“
„The automotive category produced one of the clearest
contrasts. In Canada, Google returned 36.6 percent Brand, 22.8 per-
cent Social, and 40.6 percent Earned content. AI search, however,
offered 69.1 percent Earned, 30.9 percent Brand, and no Social re-
sults. In the United States, Google leaned 39.5 percent Brand, 15.4
percent Social, and 45.1 percent Earned, while AI search delivered
81.9 percent Earned and 18.1 percent Brand.“

Threat actors are exploiting adtech companies to distribute malware and run malicious campaigns.
This is one of the many reasons why all Kagi products are built without ads or trackers.

Does anyone have an example (blog post?) of how to use #Apple#Safari#contentFilters to block search ad clicks?

(I'm able to block them using enterprise config files in Firefox and Chrome, but I don't have a link to do it in Safari https://blog.zgp.org/search-malvertising-protection-using-enterprise-policies/ )

Update: test complete! Thank you all for helping 🩷
This was a test of content warning mechanics.
Findings:
- The search tab trending system excludes posts with content warnings from trending.
- Posting, and then editing to add a CW, also stops a post from trending.
- Removing the CW later will make the post eligible for trending again.
Note: I did not test if adding a CW would remove an already trending post from the trending list.
Thoughts: The way trending formula interacts with content warnings actively discourages accessibility by creating a situation where reach and accessibility considerations are at odds.
Imo, this is one of the best features of @Mojeek - Focus search.

A judge in the US antitrust case against Google ruled that the company does not have to spin off its Chrome web browser or Android operating system. And it can pay to have Google services preinstalled on iPhones and other products, but cannot insist on exclusivity. Google will also have to share some search data with competitors. #Google#Antitrust#Chrome#Search#Androidhttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/02/google-antitrust-search-ruling.html
