A way to find similar websites

Protech

like how Google has related: operator.
I'm not sure how it can be implemented yet, but I think it should be possible, using the related operator directly isn't a good idea as it's only available for popular websites.

Protech I belive related: will already work, but it is only avaialble for more popular content. What is your main use case here?

Protech

Vlad related: does not work.

often times directly searching for something doesn't yield good results but if I use similar site search I can find better websites, that's not always the case of course but sometimes it's very useful, if it's not possible to implement your own or use an API, I would be fine with related: operator too.

I'd like to add that this suggestion and the objective Protech is trying to obtain from this can tie in well with the objectives from this thread: https://kagifeedback.org/d/802-lets-see-a-dedicated-page-to-what-fellow-kagi-users-have-boostedpined-so-that-we-can-surf-the-webs-greatest-sites

I'm suggesting an option in the ". . ." drop-down menu to be able to bias a given search towards results similar to the selected result.

For example, if I make a search query and one particular result is from and old blog from 2009 but has the most relevant information, I could select the ". . ." drop down menu and click "More results like this" to re-run the same search but biased towards similar types of sources with similar types of content.

I understand that this isn't a simple request, but I could see this being beneficial for many users across a wide number of use cases.

I like this idea. Can someone share a few examples of a searrch, interesting site and perhaps what would they want to see appear in similar site results?

I vaguely remember reading about there being a backlash to the introduction of databases that I thought might be relevant when thinking about the popular response to transformers. The second result down looked the most promising as I was specifically looking for older results. I would have liked to be able to search for similar types of content (e.g. older discussions that talk about or give examples of how databases were portrayed more negatively and associated with privacy concerns and mass surveillance.)

Again a cool feature from stract is their ‘explore the web’ functionality. Type in a website url, and it will tell you similar websites, with weightings.

If you’re ever needing to read around a subject, having this functionality to easily find similar websites, is a useful thing to have. Here’s the results for www.theguardian.com:
