Agreed having used it since March 2022 the only disruption of failing to redirect has been since the last update. Used Orion for a bit, but the extension issues and Keychain / 1Password integration problems make it unusable.

To keep iOS system search working properly, though inconvenient. Using the Kagi iOS app (set to Bing) + the Safari extension seems to give the most stability.

Making sure you have macOS Safari extension set up the same also helps. At least for now.

I experimented with changing the Kagi redirect to use Bing but I was still having issues. I changed it back to Google because I figured if the redirect was going to fail I'd rather it fail back to Google haha.

Edit: Looks like they did a rollback

>We have rolled back Kagi Search for Safari extension because of issues reported by users. The URL to download the rolled back version is the same apps.apple.com/us/app/kagi-search-for-safari/id1622835804. We are continuing the development of the 2.0 branch which is open source and you can follow the discussion here.

I also noticed this. Glad I wasn't the only one. My searches would randomly use DDG instead of Kagi and I wasn't sure why. Glad to see they rolled out a fix.
