Reconsider Yandex integration due to the geopolitical status quo

laacz

Kagi has Yandex search integration behind scenes. Previous discussion

Pplease remove integration with Yandex. Do not consider making it as a opt-out or opt-in. It's just a bug and should be fixed.
As the russia's full scale invasion into Ukraine is nearing it's third anniversay, and occupation as such - eleventh, It's really sad that Kagi, as a company which builds on such great values, is indirectly financing
genocide. It does not matter if it's 2% or 0.2%.
I understand that somebody might mistakenly see this as a political issue. But it's just not that.
I'm writing this with a very heavy heart, as I'll have to quit using the service and urge everyone else to do so. I really have come to love and enjoy Kagi.

laacz Pretty sure the original discussion was locked for a reason. I’m not going to talk politics but suffice to say it’s clear we disagree on the Ukraine issue. I’m a paying (Ultimate) subscriber too. I don’t want my search results to be poorer due to geopolitics, and Kagi’s stance on such matters is one of the main reasons I too fell in love with it. I would be equally disappointed as you are now if they actively made my search quality worse by taking a side on an issue like this.

It is not a bug. It is a source for Kagi search results.
Also, you should not create a new issue for this. Discussion should continue in the thread you linked to.
While there may be reasons for wanting to avoid Russian companies, I still think it makes sense if Yandex offers a better experience for Kagi users.

Just because a company is based in Russia does not mean they are bad people either.

I was about to mention Jetbrains also being a Russian company, but I was wrong. Although, many of their workers are Russian and still oppose the war.

I do still see your point, and I think that if Kagi can improve their search in a reasonable way without using any Russian resources, they should do so.
