This is a solid idea, but I wish they addressed the elephant in the room — image search is by far the weakest part of Kagi. For a considerable portion of queries, a large part of the results isn't relevant. If you use filters, they're often ignored or don't apply correctly. Many images are tangentially related at best. The list goes on. I've been paying for Kagi for a long while, yet I've seen nearly no improvements on this front. Image search is one part of their product where I often go to Google or other options because what Kagi does there just doesn't cut it.

Would you mind being specific and posting a search quality issue with a concrete example(s) to kagifeedback.org? We are keen to address the issues you are seeing.

I actually did post on your feedback site nearly a year ago, still no feedback or response on it so far [0]. It's been marked as under review, so it must be one thorough review process.

That's kind of you, but if you have to resort to HN comments as your feedback system, then your existing feedback system doesn't really work, does it?

I do not think this is a case of that happening like with other big tech names treating customers like shit until they make it onto HN. Vlad's super active (like, is he ok?) on the Orion browser bugs/feedback forums so I have to assume the same is true of Kagi, their actual money maker. Sometimes things fall through the cracks. One data point isn't a trend.
