High ranked Insecure websites are not obvious

Thaumaturge

I was searching for tickets for a concert at Davies Symphony Hall and the second hit was daviessymphonyhall.org an official-looking site but actually owned by a ticket broker who has a terrible rating on trust pilot with lots of reports of scams.

Ideally I wouldn't have gotten this result at all. The site is insecure but that was not obvious from the search results (showing the URL is not enough IMO). I would love it if insecure sites were both easier to recognize and ranked much lower

Can you provide a link to the trust advisor reports?

Sorry I meant trust pilot:

https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.ticketnetwork.com

Apparently this company buys domain names that look like venue sites then send you to their site to purchase tickets.

(Also note that my chief complaint is with the insecure URL being both high up in the search results and not obvious)

"Insecure" to me means that they aren't using HTTPS. If they are a scammer, then Kagi can't know that.

Sorry if I'm not being clear. Forget the point about them being a scam site. That's important but secondary.

My main complaint is that a site not using https shows up second in the search results.

Also, the fact they are not using https should be more obvious. If I had noticed it was insecure I would be more suspicious of this site as not being an official venue site.

Thaumaturge Right, so that is insecure. I agree that, these days, there shouldn't be any serious website not using HTTPS, and that should be flagged in the search results. I don't think it should be filterer; there can be obscure websites that don't use HTTPS.
