Raise the maximum number of ranked domains

Vlad

chris_20017 Doing this at runtime is very resource intensive which is why we introduced a limit. As more people reach this limit we will consdier raising it.

One question regarding the current implementation: What kind of feedback do I get I try to raise/lower a domain from the search results?

Can you clarify?

When there are a thousand ranked domains, I can’t add another one manually, it gives me an error message. When - in the same situation - I click on „block“ or „raise“ in search resul, no site is added to the list of 1000 domains, but there is no hint/error message.

This limit has been reached. Is it possible to ease the limit by moving functionality from kagi.com's front-end to a dedicated kagi.com extension?

Because ublacklist has begun challenging the fundamental stance of paying for services used, causing harm to kagi.com users.

If one shouldn't have to pay for services used, they apparently fail to understand that they must then become the sacrifice - having their user data resold by the service.

Frankly, I wouldn't hesitate to pay an additional $5 monthly fee to become Orion++.

chris_20017 Got it, please report this as a separate bug report.

BattleHawk tbc, ublacklist is fine with having kagi in there, kagi just needs to maintain their part of the code and that's being worked on https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist/issues/620

Perhaps the fact that a limit of 1000 is insufficient shows that either the search results themselves or the way this feature is used needs to change? No user is going to review hundreds of entries in the list to check if the entries placed there ought to still remain there, say, an year or two later.

Also, if a majority of the users downrank certain domains (say, something like "pinterest"), perhaps they could just be hidden from regular searches with a way to make them visible if desired? ("click here to also show results from domains our users typically block"). In this case, (new) users wouldn't feel compelled to block them again. Also, perhaps in this case, these domains can be taken out of the "count" of blocked domains for those who do have them blocked. Thus new domains can join those lists and so on...

The idea of accumulating user ratings and reflecting them in search results creates a wonderful feature, as it produces collective human intelligence outcomes without relying on machine learning.

The current issue with uBlackList clearly demonstrates the intent to exclude paid services, making it foreseeable that such specification changes will be repeated. Each repetition will likely increase the burden on paid service providers, as can be easily anticipated.

The developer has explicitly stated their intention to exclude paid services, right?

Given these facts, if kagi.com itself were to adopt a business model aimed at improving search result relevance and charging accordingly, I wouldn't hesitate to pay.

Our personal data belongs to us - it's not fodder for the advertising industry that can't guarantee quality.

Thinking about it now, it might have made more sense to direct the request to Orion, rather than Kagi Search.
