A few times recently a highly-ranked Kagi result turned out to be a scam site. (Popups warning that I have a virus, or junk pages full of jumbled fake content, etc). It’s disappointing any time these results appear in Kagi, but even more disappointing is realizing that I have no way to block them.
Each time this happened I hit back to go back to the search results, then looked for a way to report the site… and it’s just not there.
I initially assumed I was just dumb and couldn’t see it, because “of course” a paid search engine would have that feature. But reading through the other feature requests here, I guess it isn’t. And I see how maybe you don’t want to trust other users’ block decisions to affect my search results. But I should certainly be able to block domains from my own results.
I know there is already a block feature. But it’s about 20 clicks/taps to add a custom domain to that, and it’s not worth taking the time to do that when I just want to get to good results and move on with my day. But it would be worth it to click a little “block this domain” link right next to the search result.
Click a result
It’s a malicious site
Click back
Click “block this domain” (or a little icon) next to the search result
Get a prompt to explain/confirm
Say Yes
Carry on with my day, never bothered by that domain again
