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.
