Remember query when not logged out

Kearch

Hi,

I’ve been using Kagi for over a year and I love it. However, I wish it would remember my search queries and resume them after I log in. Sometimes, when I clear my website data, I’m greeted with a login page when I try to search for something. I understand that I need to log in to use the service, but it’s annoying to have to type my query again after being prompted to log in.

Persistent Search Resumption After Login:
• Suppose a user starts a search (e.g., “best laptop for programming”) but is logged out due to clearing cookies or browser data.
• When they attempt to search again, Kagi prompts them to log in.
• After logging in, instead of being redirected to a blank search page, Kagi should retain the original query and immediately display the search results.
2. Reducing Friction for Privacy-Conscious Users:
• Many users regularly clear their cookies and site data for privacy reasons.
• Without query retention, these users must re-enter searches each time they log in after clearing data.
• Persisting the last attempted query enhances usability without sacrificing security.

Hi - we already support this. Could you give more details as to your browser and Kagi setup so we can try and see why it's not working for you? If it's easily reproducible, a video would be fantastic if possible.

Wait.. how are you able to search at all without logging in? I always thought you needed a Kagi account to be able to search anything

marcel001122 If you have your browser configured to use Kagi by default, it is still going to try to use Kagi whether you are logged in or not

z64 But then unless you are using Orion, you would end up seeing Kagi sign up page everytime browser tries to search with Kagi. So I'd assume this is Orion query
