Irrelevant adult results for Chinese query

Vlad So you still haven't understood what I meant.
Let me give you an example using my latest search results. In this example, I used '美国驻华大使馆 pm2.5 洒水车（U.S. Embassy in China PM2.5 Water Sprinkler Truck）'[https://kagi.com/search?q=%E7%BE%8E%E5%9B%BD%E9%A9%BB%E5%8D%8E%E5%A4%A7%E4%BD%BF%E9%A6%86+pm2.5+%E6%B4%92%E6%B0%B4%E8%BD%A6] as the keywords for a kagi search, and the search results showed the images as seen.

This is the fifth search result, which is about 'home service in Tonghua Dongchang (select girls through WeChat 7090046)'. It's all about selling fake medicine, soliciting prostitution, or fraud advertising. This result should not appear in the search results."

This is becoming a constant annoyance to me too. The Chinese blackhat SEOs would somehow get their keywords stored on Kagi via Google Map search results

runtimeterror If you're using AdGuard, you can temporarily solve this problem by adding a rule to the user-defined filters:
kagi.com#?#div.sri-group:-abp-has(a[href*="https://www.google.com/mymaps"])

I have noticed that when searching for mixed Chinese and English keywords, it's very easy to encounter explicit advertisements, which greatly affect the search experience on Kagi. I hope Kagi can implement filtering for these search results as soon as possible.

Thanks for that.
However, if I had to use AdGuard or some other custom hacks to mitigate a fundamental bug from Kagi that has been ongoing for a while without much updates (the other post that I linked above was created 24 days ago), I'd probably just switch back to using Google with some search result filtering extensions instead...

runtimeterror Indeed, we are not paying to watch trash advertisements

I never knew there were such a way of spamming until I was searching for "烤蛋糕要等它凉吗", which means that "should I wait for it to get cooler when I bake cake". The first 20 result are all some spam advertisement under https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer which has 0 connection to the search term at all.

I expect none of these content go in front, and what I search for appears properly.

FYI, if I only search for “烤蛋糕”，which means "baking cake", none of these content appears.

Thanks for al lthe reports, we will be addressing this with the next update.
