A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I started using Kagi a few months before $10 became unlimited queries.
When I first switched I'd still, occasionally, swap back to google using bangs because I had to unlearn all the hacks I had to make Google turn up useful things. Now I can't go back, Google is unsable without those hacks. Its barely usable with them.
Plus Kagi has a "fediverse forum" lens that lets me search Lemmy much more effectively than Lemmy's search.
SearXNG has fediverse search functionality too.
Ok, you piqued me: Got a link to a guide on using Kagi for the fediverse?
There's not much to it. Under settings in Kagi there's a tab for "Lenses." Make sure "Fediverse Forums" is turned on.
Then, after you search, you can filter from a broad web search to any of your enabled lenses.
Oh that's awesome. The drop-down arrow "disapeared" with my mental blinders-- I was thinking it was only a toggle for PDFs.
