URL Decode quick answer

Kai

We have URL encode, so why not add url decode? (Just checked it's missing)

It actually does this automagically
https://kagi.com/search?q=https%253A%252F%252Fkagi.com%252Fsearch%253Fq%253Dtest

but perhaps an explicit trigger can also be added either in replacement or addition to this.

Ah funny, cause I explicily searched for url decode <string> and it didn't do that
I'd probably add it in addition to the existing one.

pixel I like that you can click the decoded url, but showing it in the "terminal" doesn't look so good imo

Compare DDG (you unfortunately can't click the URL, but it looks better):

Also the search suggestion looks like it would lead you to the page https://kagi.com/search?q=test upon click

gesumin How would you have it look inside computer?

If it has to be in the "computer", I would prefer it to be vertically structured (decoded link under the encoded link) instead of horizontally (next to each other), as it is right now. If each link had more space, there would be less need for line breaking - something that never looks good with URLs

Huh, I just noticed that the computer has a history like a calculator (the mono-space font somehow made it look not so appealing for me to really want to use it.)
In this case make the encoded URL take up the full line left-aligned, while the "solution" would start the line below right-aligned, also taking up as much space as possible.

Ok interesting, so it could look like a chat on a phone
