I think it would, so long as the redirected URL with the search parameter was diarized into browser history. It would however introduce a behavior change that may be undesired (users need to know to press "Next Post" instead of refreshing).

In any case, my Kagi search for the article containing the memorable phrase "rare as rocking-horse s*t" came up empty. Perhaps it's not yet been indexed.

Bit bummed. The first random page I landed on was a really interesting article for me. The custom cursor (well why not) had me struggling to following a link, and instinctively I refreshed the page. I ended up somewhere else in the haystack with ostensibly no way back to that particular article.

Perhaps I'm yelling into the void here, but what would be great is when first landing at kagi.com/smallweb, the url query parameter would be somehow set, as it is when "Next Post" is clicked.

I routinely fat-finger the hide button while browsing on my phone. I then need to fish the article out from somewhere within my profile.

Bit of a shower thoughts situation... I was recalling what it was like as a kid to learn to write using a pencil/pen; these memories are relatively vivid. I realised that I can't recall the same about learning to type.I figure I would recall being intrigued by the keyboard's layout, the feeling and function of it, and recall finding it cumbersome at first and then finding it progressively...

Re:A Matter of Millimeters: The story of Qantas flight 32 on Saturday December 09, 2023 @07:35PM (#38587762)

Coincidentally I just finished reading the self-authored book ("QF32") of the pilot's own recount of the day. The book leads in with many interesting life experiences that led him to make so many good life-and-death choices that day.

Re:It's not acceptable that Google does not offer support to users on Wednesday June 22, 2022 @05:05PM (#31841856)

One counter-example: An acquaintance was recently able to restore an important Google Drive document they accidentally permanently deleted using Google One's support (this is possible within some time horizon). Best $2 they'd spent, apparently :D
