Filter results by index

jedahan

From the FAQ, Kagi uses many source indexes for search results. It would be nice to be able to filter search results to enable/disable indexes.

Search indexes - Google, Bing
Vertical sources - Wikipedia, DeepL, "other APIs"
Non-commercial index - Teclis
News index - TinyGem
Instant Answer - "an AI"

jedahan I think that lenses seem to address these needs, where others I'm not sure about:

We offer a special "Noncommerical" lens which focuses on content from tinygem, teclis (with other tertiary sources to keep the lens practical)
News; our news largely does not come from TinyGem. Our primary news sources are exposed in the News tab, and via an alternative source utilizing the News 360 lens - which is also just a class of lens that you can create and customize on your own, adding the news sources you prefer, and switching the lens style to News.
Vertical sources; not sure what this means practically. Do you mean a search mode that only includes our wiki widget, and other similar widgets? Unsure if this is useful. We used to show widgets without search results in the past, and no one really liked it.
IA; unsure if this would be effective either, as the presentation of an Instant Answer above results provides additional context that can be important.

jedahan What would be the purpose of this?
