A targeted search for just blogs and podcasts

Ath

I wondered if it would be possible to have a targeted search for just blogs and podcasts (like feedle.world does). Ideally (if not outside the scope of Kagi), we could have an RSS feed for the search, so it could be added to feedbin or Readwise Reader.

Zac suggested I added this as a request here.

Ath Would integrating feedle be useful? Do they cover all podcasts? Let us know your thoughts.

I haven't used feedle enough to vouch for the quality of their results. I wouldn't know how to check if their list of results is comprehensive.
Usually, I can find the same sites by fishing them out of a Kagi search, but it requires some effort as everything comes mixed with other search results.
I do like that feedle returns a filtered list with just blogs and podcasts. I assumed that these same sites are already in the Kagi full index, and they could just be filtered out for the user.
In addition to the filtered list of podcasts and blogs, a useful feature of feedle that is not existent in Kagi is an RSS feed that can be pasted into a newsreader, for instance. However, I'm uncertain if supplying an RSS feed would be within the capabilities of Kagi.
So, in short, it would be useful to have feedle inegrated in Kagi provided their results quality match the quality of the rest of Kagi Search.
By the way, thanks for making Kagi. It's a delight to use!

Ath It looks like feedle has a pretty shallow index judgining from a few searches I tried. And indeed Kagi already has all these results. The idea is perhaps how to limit the isearch across the podcast/blog space and this is where lenses could be useful. Definetely something for us to think about.

That's probably the best way. If Kagi could get a filter similar to the "Discussions" or the "Noncommercial" ones and filter just blogs and podcasts, it would be convenient and fit with the rest of the interface.
Thanks! 🙂
