Waiting for dawn in search
We published a new blog post on the state of search and the critical need for open index access. The dawn of a healthier, user-centric web is possible, but it requires structural change.

Kagi Search
- We've upgraded our Academic lens! Try it when you want research results drawn from scholarly and professional sources. Ideal for topics like medicine, sports science, or other specialist fields
- Added functionality for users to manually set their location, improving local search queries. This is part of our weekly incremental improvements to localised search in Kagi.
- Several accessibility improvements have been made, including corrected roles and proper fieldset semantics for our dropdown menus throughout the site, thanks to Tamara Cook, an accessibility consultant who proactively reached out to us via our support email. Thank you very much for the input!

Kagi Search Android

Kagi Assistant
- Recommended models are now more useful to users. We clearly outline which base models we recommend: best fast (speed), best balanced (speed<>depth), best overall (max quality)
