Kagi for Safari

The way this extension works is by hijacking a page event, the search is made to the default engine (Google) and then Kagi intercepts it and redirects. This is because Apple doesn’t allow the configuration of custom search engines. But nevertheless users should be aware this is the mechanism that this extension uses.

Ideally this app shouldn’t be required and it can be finicky at times, but that’s not Kagi’s fault. Patiently waiting for the day that Apple allows custom search engines via an %s URL, or adds Kagi as a default option.

it works when i first install it but after a day or so it stops working. shame as it’s great when it works

I love Kagi search on my laptop computer. But the wonky way it works here is too slow and unreliable. I search in Safari, I get answers (from Google), I click on them, and then 20 seconds later, Kagi interrupts that with its own search results. That's worse than not having it at all, and I will be uninstalling it. What I really want is a standalone app experience, sort of like the Google search app. Then I'd stop searching in Safari and use that instead.

Give Kagi a whirl. I am very pleased to pay a nominal fee for my family to have access to safer search made for humans to use (not to use humans). Thoughtful use of AI. Ad free. Tracker free. It is much more peaceful in terms of the noise when searching the web. The extension is a difficult implementation to get your searches routed in Safari. Take a moment to ask Apple to add Kagi as a default search option in Safari. Also take a look at Orion Browser on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS-it’s a neat browser-fast-like a beefed up Safari.

DO NOT UPDATE If it works, don’t touch it. Updates are a total crapshoot. Some updates will completely break all functionality, rendering the app useless.

Was great, now keeps redirecting to a 403 page any time I try to search or log in.

Keep getting an error 403 anytime I try to search on safari

If you're having issues with the app not working whatsoever, install the Apple TestFlight app. There is a dev preview of an upcoming update that fixes the problem. The link can be found from Kagi's changelog on their site (you might see a notification bell on the search page). To quote the log: "Kagi Search for Safari update If you are using Safari with iOS developer beta (17.5), Kagi Search for Safariextension may have stopped working due to a bug introduced in this iOS release last week. We have released a TestFlight version of the new version that should work. We are planning to release it to app store as soon as we get positive verification from users. It may help long term if you took a second and sent feedback to Apple to consider including Kagi as a search engine choice in Safari. Thank you 🙏"

Stopped working recently.
