Add option to disable the Quick Answer hint

Kagi now shows an extra "Quick Answer for ..." hint when typing in the search field:

I use Quick Answer a lot by appending "?" at the end of search phrase. However, these kind of explicit hints clutter the UI and, to me, feel like a step towards enshitification and forcing features on users. I want to be able to disable this "Quick Answer for..." hint without having to disable the hint system altogether (which seems to be the only way of getting rid of this hint, at the expense of loosing all search hint functionality).

Provide a toggle under Search Settings that allows to disable Quick Answer hint.

I think I managed to work around the problem by creating a custom uBlock Origin filter:

kagi.com##.qa.auto_item

Still, this should be an option and not something that has to be fixed using adblockers.

jstolarek by the way, you can do that in Kagi settings using custom CSS, that way it will sync across all devices and work without any extensions

From Kagi's latest blog post on LLM's:

Also, importantly, Quick Answer appears when users ask for it.

While QA appears when users ask for it, a prompt to use QA appears always, even when users don't want it.
