📢 Announcements
We have added Brave Search API as an additional source of results. With this, Brave API joins the growing list of Kagi's search sources, ensuring that if you can not find something on Kagi, it does not exist on the web. This will come at no additional cost to you.
Kagi Assistant usage stats are now on the stats page. Assistant is still in beta and currently available to Ultimate plan users. We plan to roll it out to all members in January. #2141 @Grooty
We vastly improved Image search results. Check them here including all the powerful filters.
Kagi Search for Safari Extension 2.0 has just launched! We've updated the extension to be cross-platform and rewrote it from scratch for improved reliability, as well as a simpler way to get your Kagi searches going across your macOS and iOS devices, with Apple’s automatic extension state syncing.
Existing users of the iOS Kagi Search for Safari Extension are encouraged to install the cross-platform version from the App Store to continue receiving updates after the iOS-only extension is delisted (in July 2024). Until that time, the iOS-only extension will continue to receive the same updates and run the same underlying code as the cross-platform extension.
The migration to the Safari Web Extensions framework will require you to grant access to the Extension on the search engine during your first run. See the instructions in the app for details.
Release notes for extension:
[Fixed] Redirects should not experience intermittent failures
[Changed] You can override which search engine redirects to Kagi manually. The first time you install/upgrade to this version, the extension will attempt to detect your current Safari search engine
[Changed] You only need to provide extension access to urls on the search engine you are overriding.
