This feature request proposes enabling support for Kagi’s existing bang commands (e.g., !ain for Amazon India) within the Kagi Assistant search tool. Currently, when a user includes a bang in a query (e.g., chocolate !ain), the Assistant performs a general web search instead of routing the query to the specified site.
The feature would allow users to leverage the full power of Kagi’s bang command system directly within Assistant, enabling instant, site-specific searches without leaving the chat interface. This improves efficiency for users who want to quickly check product availability, pricing, or content on specific platforms like Amazon India, Wikipedia, or news sites.
- Implementation: Parse user queries in the Assistant search tool for valid bang command syntax (e.g.,
!ain, !w, !yt) and, when detected, execute the search directly on the corresponding site, just as Kagi Search does.
- Example: A query like
chocolate !ain should return results from amazon.in, not general web results.
- Edge Case Handling: If a bang is invalid or unsupported, the Assistant could fall back to a general search with a gentle prompt (e.g., “!xyz not recognized, showing general results”).
