Kagi finally let me lay Google Search to rest

I should probably add in that kagi has some secret modes.

If you precede the search query with `!expert` you get an LLM search response.

If you precede it with `!code` you get a GPT-4-ish tuned response. It’s… really good. And since you can do it from a browser bar if you make it your default browser, I find myself reaching for !expert at least 50% as often as ChatGPT these days. Also, it’s extremely good with citations. The !expert mode seems pretty darn up to date, no knowledge cutoff issues. I have no idea if it is search, doing a vector lookup, or they just bake the model every night. Totally magical.

Also, I’m following the LLM stuff pretty closely these days — their universal summarized and their search LLM — no one else is doing that right now. It’s genuinely amazing.

Neither !expert nor !code prefixes work for me.

You can also modify the bangs to your liking. I never use podcasts, and so having !p bound to podcast search was useless to me. Opened up the lenses config, and set the programming lens to !p.

Sounded cool, but seems like it’s (!expert) a closed beta. I just get redirected to expert.nl, maybe requires the ultimate plan? The docs are pretty unclear.

I’ve been using Quick Answer quite a bit. The fact that it cites its sources is absolutely fantastic.

I assume there can't be anything beyond ultimate.

I tried this query: !code how do I invert a string in python

and I was redirected here http://www.searchco.de/?q=how+do+I+invert+a+string+in+python... which doesn't even open (at least on my network)

What's going on here?
