Kagi-Search-for-Safari-iOS

I don't think this is why -- this behavior was hardcoded for certain search providers. See: https://github.com/kagisearch/Kagi-Search-for-Safari-iOS/blo... The last 1.x version specifically doesn't seem to do this on Google searches. In addition, the old version did not require you to change your default search engine to one you don't use. This is because they changed their framework: > We've updated the Kagi Search for Safari extension to be cross-platform, using Safari Web Extensions instead of Safari App Extension framework. This will require you to grant access to the Extension on the search engine during your first run. See the instructions in the app for details > - [Fixed] Redirects should not experience intermittent failures > - [Changed] You can override which search engine redirects to Kagi manually. The first time you install/

The new version (2.0) seems to fix this behavior. The published source on GitHub, from version 1.0.9, shows how this worked. https://github.com/kagisearch/Kagi-Search-for-Safari-iOS/blo...

This seems to fix a behavior in the earlier version of the extension that was on the App Store: searches on certain websites were automatically redirected to Kagi. The published source on GitHub, from version 1.0.9, outlines she me of this behavior. In the last 1.0.10 release, all of the providers defined in the code *except for Google* (eg baidu, yandex, Bing) would have searches performed on their home page redirected to Kagi. I found this behavior rather mysterious and an impediment. https://github.com/kagisearch/Kagi-Search-for-Safari-iOS/blo...

Safari does not allow custom search engines, and this is the only way possible, also used by any other search engine with an iOS Safari extension. Besides, Kagi Safari iOS extension is full open source: https://github.com/kagisearch/Kagi-Search-for-Safari-iOS
