Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month

I wasn't sure because this never bothered me so I did a little experiment by searching for

"does it warn about mispellings"

(Note the intentional misspelling above.)

And here is the result:

  We haven’t found anything.
  There are no results that match all your keywords exactly.
  Check your spelling, try different keywords, or try without quotes:
  does it warn about mispellings

Edit: I then tried to repeat the experiment with only one misspelled word which was harder because misspelled is misspelled in several different ways across the web, so the first most realistic misspellings actually returned real results.

When I came as far as "mixspeling" however it came back with the same result as the one I pasted in above.

Thanks for checking! This result is too verbose (first two sentences mean the same, but also aren't needed since you already see no results), and then instead of the "check your spelling" it should just, you know, check my spelling :) and show an active link to the quoted query with typos corrected

And the suggestion shouldn't only show when you've found nothing, it should be a basic spellcheck correction suggestion - since the web also has misspelled words you might not even notice the mistake since you see some results and think it's ok

If this is more important to you than all the things I have listed above then I don't think Kagi is the right search engine for you.
