More dropdown occasionally comes up empty.

batu

More menu dropdown (Search with...) utility shows up empty sometimes. I am facing this issue pretty much since I started using Kagi, at least 3 months.

I couldn't find any specific way to reproduce the bug, it just happens randomly. I have not modified the default list of items (Wikipedia, Wolfram Alpha, Youtube ... etc).

A quick inspection with browser's dev tool reveals the issue is not cosmetic. div with class="_0_more_search_bangs_list_title" is empty. Clicking the "Customize..." menu also returns empty.

The issue is not browser or platform specific. It happens on Firefox, Chrome, mobile or desktop.

Last week (IIRC) this drop down would present common sites to supplement where Kagi is not yet "top tier" e.g. Google Maps. This was useful as it allowed users to switch between different information providers, some being better than others for the user's needs.

Ideally, this list would be repopulated with the original defaults. If these options were removed due to liability, maybe the "Add Shortcut" menu could link to a Kagi help page containing common shortcuts - that way the community could help populate this list, limiting liability.

I also run into this problem from time to time. Happened to me just now, but when I refreshed to see if anything showed in a network trace the options loaded in. Not sure what triggers it.

I just noticed it appears on my personal desktop, but not my work machine. Cached locally?

I often find that the "Search With" menu has no options. Clearing site data in the dev tools will fix the issue, but eventually it will reappear, and I'm not entirely sure what triggers it.

When I open the "More" menu on search results I expect to see a list of sites where I can continue my search, such as Wikipedia or Wolfram Alpha.

@batu @silvenga @Hooked @wardin
Are you still encountering this?

E: A little later I encountered it as well. Still very much present on both mobile and desktop.
