Tune autocomplete results to for partial matches and full matches

theDoctor

Sorry for the bad title...I really couldn't sum this issue up into one sentence.

Right now it seems that Kagi likes to focus on the most complete (longest) autocomplete match fitting the search possible. While in theory this is good, sometimes you actually only want part of the match, and that partial match is actually of significantly higher value.

Because I'm sure this still makes no sense, try these examples:
I want Baldur's Gate 3 reviews
I type Baldur's Gate 3 rev expecting it to autocomplete there
I get 3 review suggestions, but each with an appended site (IGN, Reddit, Metacritic) and no option just for review

Take this one to the extreme - Baldur's Gate 3 Revie is all reviews...but not just review!

Using the same example, but I just want the metacricic page, typing baldur's gate 3 meta and i get two metacricic results at positions 3 and 4, both with appended non-relevant terms. I would be willing to bet that the autocomplete suggestion ending in metacritic alone would have the highest score and appear at the top.

Hope this made sense. Hard to describe but easy to see.

One note - in tuning this, I don't like the idea of losing the quality of having the children where relevant.

Taking the Baldur's Gate 3 Revie as an example, ideally review would be the top result, however the 'child-suggestions' with their suffixes should ideally still show (where relevant)

Somewhat related to this, is that the autocompletions are very 'jumpy'.

For example, when you type baldur's gate 3 r, it shows baldur's gate 3 review as the top result.
When you continue to type baldur's gate 3 re, it shows baldur's gate 3 release as the first result and baldur's gate 3 review as the second result.
If you continue to type baldur's gate 3 rev it will not show baldur's gate 3 review as noted by OP.
