@kagihq Tabs is what I miss the most. One search at a time can be quite limiting. The tabs should be named after my search query, even when I open a result.

@kagihq Try hard to get on the approved search provider's list, so Kagi could be set as the default system-wide. I think you meet the user count criteria already.

@kagihq The long-press menu is missing "web search". Pressing just icon open the app with the last screen and web search on startup. So if you used e.g. "long-press, translate" and later want to search the web again, you need to to use the launcher to exit the app and start it again or eventually find a way to navigate back to web search via some link in translate somehow.
Much more intuitive would it be to have web search in the long-press to switch back.

Make it a simple (!) launcher with a search widget, and open Kagi News on swipe right

Let verbatim do its job. If I have quoted terms, I expect all of them to be fulfilled. Oh, do I miss #AltaVista.

@kagihq the icon is not your trademark yellow and I forget the app is on my home screen. I look at the icon thinking it is another search provider starting with g..... same goes for the quick search icons in browsers. Celebrate your distinctiveness!

It it not possible to search two things side-by-side. In a browser I can open tabs and have two searches, but in kagi app I cannot. Would be nice to be able to save a search result to be able to go back and forth between them.

Also, would be nice to be able to define which browser opens the results (e.g., long press on the link). I have one browser that is amnestic and one with history. Different searches need different browsers.
