This issue has escalated beyond needing a feature—Kagi is now prioritizing malware over legitimate results.

The top result is a malicious GitHub organization impersonating the legitimate SoundSource product from Rogue Amoeba (rogueamoeba.com/soundsource). On a laptop, you must scroll through an entire page of Kagi’s curated sections (videos, “Interesting Finds”, etc.) before reaching the actual vendor site below the fold.
This represents a fundamental SERP quality failure. GitHub organizations—regardless of reputation, age, or authenticity—are ranking above established vendor domains for brand queries. This pattern affects multiple searches (cloudflare pages, soundsource, likely others).
GitHub has been unable to solve repository spam at scale. Kagi needs defenses against this attack vector independent of GitHub’s remediation efforts.
It feels like a bias towards GitHub and open source is negatively impacting the quality of search results. Perhaps I’ve inadvertently influenced my search results as these values somewhat align with my own.
