Change "Continue in Kagi Assistant" button to Quick Answer

Luis Oversite ? wow, testing is lacking just a wee bit I'd say.

On my desktop, a q to expand or collapse does nothing. I really wish it did. What you describe sounds useful cause if this is all hidden I'd be much happier. Just start using "opt-in". Stop messing with results and we are not in this mess. Feature creep in search and ads are why we are Kagi customers.

I liked the single click to move on to continue my discussion with the most of the time wrong assistant. If it works I NEVER have to click and expand. I'd like to see this over helping it take a second shot. It generally doesn't work so sometimes I want to click and go further. I don't need Kagi's assistance with next queries. My grandmother might like it but she doesn't use Kagi.

So, give me results as you have to date. Stop assuming I want all this added junk. If you see a serious need for these extra things make them opt in. It is bad enough I can't turn on always try quick answer first and half to type in a question mark every time I query.

I helped test things, just assumed it wasn't supposed to be link ... just a header... didn't see it as a bug.
About the q keyboard shortcut: I think it does work on some systems/browsers but doesn't for me either, we'll get this fixed.

I would suggest you make a seperate kagifeedback about the ability to turn off certain parts of the search ui (like the follow up questions and such). (this way we'll be able to follow up better).
These new features aren't junk to most people, but I understand if you don't want it, so feel free to make it a seperate post so we can properly track that request.

kvnmlm thanks for taking the time to share this. I want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly: you'd like the option to continue in Kagi Assistant directly from the Quick Answer, without an extra click.

Our current thinking is that Quick Answer should show the result immediately, and then let you either review sources or continue in kagi assistant with an extra click. This makes the transition into the assistant flow clearer and keeps the main search results page more focused.

Luis Sorry for slow reply here, got tired of the last discussion and didn't find my way to here until now. I like my paid search to not require me to be in the feedback section daily. When you get it right, hopefully, I'll never be here <g>

TL;DR; I DO NOT like what we have " the option to continue in Kagi Assistant directly from the Quick Answer, without an extra click."

I like a one click continue with discussion in assistant which is what we previously had. 99% of search is not a continued discussion with an AI. What I have now is a complete waste of time and screen real estate. I don't need help with my queries. I don't need a box to start this discussion. 95% of the time I do not want to continue with assistant but when I do,, one click to start it is great. I'll add I never use Kagi on a phone. NEVER. Ipad a little. I use Kagi as search on a real machine.

The q shortcut now works in my browser and is sticky which helps GREATLY. No clue what changed but I'm happy it now works.

Clicking q to get more still gives me suggested prompts which is targeted to my grandma which is NOT what Kagi should be creating. This is google creeping features shit. We are using Kagi cause we don't want google creep. This is the magic of Kagi and every time I see you "googling" the interface (and I don't mean search, I mean dumbing it down feature creep) I add another line to my growing list of "why kagi now sucks".

So now i click on "show more" or q kind of like what the continue in assistant used to be. When I do it exposes the ability to continue, unfortunately it hides the refs section too. Refs is (was ?) useful before adding all the crap highlighting links ...blah blah blah.....more grandma features I don't want messing up my view.

The whole idea, hidden behind a click or not, of the prompt help as basic info is flawed and not useful to the tech savvy user.

Maybe it is time to split this sucker ? 1 is the advanced tech savvy user interface which is HIGHLY configurable so I get to customize my results and 2 is the grandma interface which is like google creeping crap where you can put everything but the kitchen sink in the interface to entice the not tech savvy crowd. I realize the money is there but if you think she is going to pay you for search and replace google, you are confused.

One thing I want to make sure is explicitly called out for removal (in case it wasn't said in the prior ticket which I didn't get to the bottom of so apologies if this is redundant) is the extra "assistant field". Just give people the option to jump to the LLM page in Assistant if they want it. Less UX input artifact pollution is better.

Kagi, this should be your mantra every time you sit down at the keyboard.
