Description
When using the image search feature, applying filters (such as "only GIFs" and/or "only square aspect ratio") after running a search does not update the search results. This issue occurs across all search queries.
Steps to reproduce
- Run an image search on Kagi, either by
a. Going to kagi.com, clicking Images, entering search terms, and pressing enter.
b. Using the !i bang, along with your search terms, and pressing enter.
- After results are returned, use the filter "ribbon" to choose only GIFs, or only a square aspect ratio.
Notes
- I can confirm that the filters are changing my URL (e.g.
&image_type=animatedGifHttps).
Is it caching?
While writing this, I ran some other tests, and I suspect that the caching of search results may be causing this.
For example:
- if I set my filter to GIFs only, then type 'super mario' and search, I get the expected results.
- I then search 'super mario 2' with the 'tall' aspect ratio, and get expected results.
- in a new tab, I then search 'super mario' with no filters, and get only GIFs.
- if I run the search again a few minutes later, I get PNGs, JPEGs, etc.
I expected the filters to update the results immediately.
