I’ve been saying for a long time that as a Canadian, you can predict the future. Just look across the border, and what you see down there will be arriving here in 10-15 years.
I’d consider it if they had some of the features Kagi has like raising/lowering/pinning/excluding certain websites from results, but every time I try it it still feels very light on features.
Websites I’ve never heard of come up very frequently. The feature I find highly useful involves a) hiding shitty disinformation websites as I encounter them, or blocking sites like pintrest, and b) elevating results from websites I like, like having letterboxd results rank higher than IMDB when I search for movies or whatEVER.
Being able to customize my own results to favour what I’m actually looking for is such a crutch.
Where can I find that setting? I don’t see anything like that anywhere in the UI. If it’s in the config files and not in the UI, that isn’t particularly useful to me.
Oh, I think this is different to what I’m talking about. Seems like the weight in SearXNG impacts search engines used, where what I’m talking about is in regards to the actual results. So I could prioritize or deprioritize websites which tend to produce good or bad results, block domains, pin favourites, etc. The example I used elsewhere is like having letterboxd results rank higher than IMDB when I search for movies
That’s cool, but I’d still prefer not to be wrangling a dozen or so engines with bangs and editing config files when I could do it all through the UI in a more intuitive way. While I don’t mind initial setup, I have very little appetite for endless tweaking of config files. So while I’ll keep an eye on SearXNG and occasionally pull it onto my server, Kagi can continue being my daily driver for now.

"No, seriously. All those things Google couldn't find anymore? Top of the search pile. Queries that generated pages of spam in Google results? Fucking pristine on Kagi – the right answers, over and over again." (pluralistic.net)
