Are specific examples helpful?

This is more a general question: would it be helpful to receive examples where Kagi didn't find the page I was looking for, but Google did? It's not quite a bug, so much as "could be better". Below is one example, but the bigger question is whether reports like this are helpful in the first place.

Steps to reproduce:
Searching on site:wiglaf.org carolingia dance music

Expected behavior:
Was looking for http://www.wiglaf.org/aaronm/scamusic/index.php, which is the top hit on Google, but didn't show up in Kagi. Not sure why -- possibly Google is correctly matching the noun "carolingia" with the adjective "carolingian"?

Not a complaint -- I adore Kagi, and want to help make it better...

Yes, this feedback is definitely welcome - it's exactly the kind of thing the "Search Quality" tag is made for 🙂 Reports like these have helped uncover many bugs and quality tweaks over the years.

So thanks - we'll take a look!

z64 Does this also apply to FastGPT? For example, I asked "Is there a fan webcomic about Calvin & Hobbes?", and it focused on whether an official sequel existed - it didn't talk about unofficial creations. Rewording the prompt had it shed light on their existence (no), which was what I wanted to know in the first place.

Sabin_Stargem No, because fastgpt is optimized primarly for speed, and any attempts to improve accuracy would make it slow as other AIs out there.

Kagi results for the query in this report seem to work as expected now. This one can be marked as done @Luis
