I'm not quite sure whether this is a bug or intentional, but nonetheless it's a bit of a pain point for me so I'm opening a thread.
Bangs don't work when searching Images, Videos, News, and more generally anything other than Web searches. This provides an inconsistent search experience. I quite frequently find myself searching for something in Videos, but after taking a quick peek at the Kagi results I might want to fallback to e.g. Youtube if I'm not satisfied with what I find.
What this means is that I'll either:
- Click on the Web tag, wait for the search result, then append !yt at the end of my query. This results in wasted time and, arguably more important for you guys, a wasted query.
- Retype the whole query or copy it to the address bar, then append !yt, which is annoying.
I'd expect bangs to work everywhere.
