When we currently trigger the Wolfram Alpha widget using a mathematical query, it seems like Kagi will return a natural language output, but I don't think that's the best way to return most mathematical results.

for example, this is the response for the query "2x2-2x+1=0"

As you can see, it's pretty difficult to mentally parse the results in this format.

Which is the default way Wolfram Alpha displays answers to this type of queries.
I suggest adding some kind of setting to let the user select what's their preferred output format for wolfram queries (be it Latex or any other format Wolfram Alpha offers and is compatible with how Kagi displays results).

something like this would be way better:

    mm00 This is how Wolfram Alpha API currently returns the result. We will raise it with their team.

      Probably related, but I feel like some answers should be more detailed, just like their own website:



      Their own website's main result mentions the temperature of 25 C, so I don't see the reason for them to not return such info in their API.
