yokoffing I like that you offer which features you use more & which less . I reflect that I use a different feature set: never using the AI; but I very frequently alter search rankings
tangential idea: with everybody ranking websites, I imagine that Kagi has a growing database that, maybe in time, can be used to mitigate the ‘enshitification’ of the internet — the phenomenon whereby most search results are low-quality, ad-filled click bait
now back to the affordances relating to each search result & the associated icon signifiers . so Kagi is a fun new search engine that — this is how I see it — is not against innovative ideas . why not have customizability around what icon is displayed?
and as for the shield, the AI icon, and the triple dot: on desktop the only icon that affords simply hovering, not clicking, to access its function, is the shield icon . this is great . as I said, I use this feature quite a lot . the other icons — the AI icon & the triple dot — you have to click . I’m not saying that’s good or bad . what I do want to say is, why not have one icon that you hover over, which displays a pop-over, which has all the features there? . this suggestion comes from reflecting that it’s easy for icons to multiply in a product, cluttering the interface . there is no reason I can divine as to why the triple-dot, and the AI icon, are ‘their own thing’
and a final idea — I know this is not the place for ideas; but hopefully this may be in some way helpful — regards the issue originally raised, that the AI icon gets too close to the text . this is an easy change that makes for a much better user experience: put the triple dot on the left (then the AI icon, then the shield icon)
