Quick Answer button is distracting being the only color icon

Iced_Eagle

The Quick Answer icon when searching seems like it was recently changed to an orange lightning bolt. This is distracting as it is the only color icon in the UI, and there is no way to disable this button. I am someone who does not want to use Quick Assistant, and it feels like Kagi is really trying to drive my attention towards this button. I wish it were a white/black icon so it blended in better with the UI.

Separately, it would be great to an option where I could disable the button from appearing (allowing me to end my query with ? to get a quick answer if I opt-in to that feature).

Icon is a color only if it is important and needs to stand out. One example being orange shield icon for when a site has a lot of ads/trackers, which is useful for me to notice as a user so it influences my behavior to not click on that site.

Highlighting the Quick Answer button you want me to click is not an important reason, and for me, causes distraction in the UI as I do not intend to use that feature.

You may also accomplish this with Custom CSS with:

.quick-answer-trigger-link {
  display: none;
}

This will completely hide the button, but quick answer will still be accessible with ?.

Hey, you can change this in your Custom CSS with the following:

.quick-answer-trigger-link svg {
    color #888888;
}

Is that an acceptable fix?

For me, yes! Thank you for providing both of those Custom CSS options. (Note: RoxyRoxyRoxy I believe you missed a : after color. Easy fix but just noting it here in case someone else reading wanted to use that!)

I personally would prefer to have a toggle in the UI or something less prone to changes in CSS directly. But certainly this is an easy immediate workaround that is helpful for me. Thanks!

Looks like the quick answer + bolt also shows up at the bottom of all search results unfortunately. Added the auto_item section to custom CSS to also remove that.

.quick-answer-trigger-link {
display: none;
}

.auto_item.qa {
display: none;
}

.qa-mode-box {
display: none;
}

Just noticed this quick answer button hovers over search results in the mobile view and it’s incredibly frustrating.

Appreciate that there’s an option with custom CSS, but it would be nice if there’s a more user-friendly toggle in settings, or just a general “please remove all AI from my experience” setting 😂
