!expert only works if you have access to the AI features. Right now, only available to users on the Ultimate plan. General release for all subscribers is end of February.
The "!fast" bang is more broadly available. It's faster, as the name implies, and results are still pretty good. It uses smaller models on the back end.
When you experienced a bad result, did you do a direct comparison with the equivalent Google search?
I found myself questioning some of Kagi's search results when I first started using it and sometimes thought a search result was of poor quality, but whenever that happened, I did a direct comparison with Google whose result was equally bad.
I've now used Kagi for almost six months and have never found a search where Google provided better quality results. Except for image search.
Their API (for third-party devs) used to have an option for FastGPT to either allow or disallow web-search but they removed the option that disallowed it. So the API always uses web-search.
This doesn't mean that the FastGPT web client behaves the same, but I would suspect it.
Are English "Small Web" results included even if I use the "Sweden" search region?
I noticed the example result for useyourloaf wasn't included if I switched it to "Sweden" and not sure if this is just an oddity or if the entire feature is nerfed because I just leave my locale on all the time.
When I was a kid my mum would only let me use my PC every other weekday because she wanted me to spend less time playing games. I convinced her that on the non-game days she would let me use Game Maker on my PC instead :)
So I ended up using my PC every day of course. But I did spend a lot of time making games!
I have the same feelings about VS Code. JetBrains is working on a competitor (Fleet) that is running on the JVM and renders using Skia. But everywhere I keep seeing it get flack for not being web-based...
