What does your feature entail? What is it for? How will it affect existing workflows or user experience?
When setting the "long snippet" option, I usually find the answer or simply the right information I'm looking for. It's not perfect, because sometimes it simply shows a random sentence, but it happens rarely. While I'm also interested about the progress of this and this, here I'm suggesting a QoL upgrade for a better experience. For example, here:
The snippet of the first result (but also on other results on the bottom) shows the answer of my query, great, but isn't shown as an Instant Anwer and so can be accidentally ignored. I'm using Kagi for 2 month now, and I've seen the Instant Answer widget less than 10 times I think, while many times one or more snippets provided a good answer. So, I think that this can be improved in a few ways.
First, I think that the answer in all the snippets should be in bold, like this from the previous example:
Also, making a "slider" for the confidence of the Kagi AI providing the Instant Answers would be appreciated, choosing to show more or less often at the top one snippet.
Brave Seach manages the snippets at the top in a very good way, with the entire snippet shown and the answer in bold, unlike the Instant Answer UI that only shows the answer in big and then repeats the snippet with the answer again, that isn't great in my opinion, mainly if the answer isn't a number or a couple of words. Here:
The entire snippet is at the top showing in bold the release date of Oppenheimer in Italy, but also Kagi answers it in the snippets, but it isn't in bold and isn't highlighted at the top:
Also, here we can see why, in my opinion, the Brave Search approach is better instead of the big answer and the snippet on the bottom that repeats the same thing:
What are the exact ways that you see a user using your proposed feature? Please go into as much detail as possible, and provide examples of how other browsers/apps implement this feature, if applicable. If your feature suggestion adds on to an existing feature, how would it work into it to extend its usefulness?
This would make the search faster and better, with less calls to Quick Answer and Assistant where the Instant Answer could do its job. So, making all the possible answers in the snippets in bold and making the Instant Answer more like the Brave Search one, would be very nice.
