The first blooper seems to forget that time == money.

“Pure numbers and French are not compatible”

Yep that checks out

Heres one I found: search for "spaceweather" and you get weather for East Derry, New Hampshire. Definitely not space. The results I need are one and two for links below, but a friend pointed out that there is an astronaut (Alan Shepherd maybe?) who lived there which is the only connection to space I can think of for that city.

I guess for "Pop os" it gave a 2004 estimate for the population of the Cocos Islands. https://www.axl.cefan.ulaval.ca/pacifique/cocos-ile.htm

Not quite a blooper but I thought it was neat:

I searched Kagi for “veterans day 2025” the other day (on Veterans Day, when I was unsure) and it answered

“= today”

Just going to drop a quick complaint here that none of these are search results.

(though yes, they are funny)

Given the title "Search Results Gone Wrong", I'd like to take this opportunity to try to shame Kagi into fixing the search results for the "More results" feature. This simple feature is broken in that it often gives you repeats of the same initial results it gave. That is, instead of giving you "More results", it gives you a lot of "Same results".

I reported this as a bug about 6 months ago, and was quickly told it was planned to be fixed. But it hasn't been fixed. I checked in again a few weeks ago to see if there was any progress, and apparently they've given up because it is too hard: "Apologies, seems I forgot to update the thread. Unfortunately it is in fact trickier than it looks to dedupe these results. Mainly this is a result of how we work with results from upstream sources, and deduping is heavily complicated by caching issues."

Kagi, you're generally great. I'm usually happy to be a paying customer. But I refuse to believe that deduping a list of URL's is actually too hard for you. Maybe I'm one of the few users who actually cares about searching for web pages, but for my use cases my search results would be much better if you actually gave me more results when I click on "More results". How is this not considered core functionality for a search engine? Please fix this!

Here's the bug report: https://kagifeedback.org/d/7022-clicking-more-results-yields...

Is Kagi worth paying for? It's been on my radar for a while.

Does Kagi have any value in the era of LLMs? My understanding is that it aggregates result from different providers.
