The way iOS search is done by Kagi is a little creepy. You have to load an extension and allow it the ability to inspect everything. It then intercepts searches and redirects the browser to Kagi. I’m sure it’s what’s necessary to add a search in iOS, but still a sad compromise. Regardless the search results from Kagi seem much less SEO spammy which is nice!



Safari does not allow custom search engines, and this is the only way possible, also used by any other search engine with an iOS Safari extension.

Besides, Kagi Safari iOS extension is full open source: https://github.com/kagisearch/Kagi-Search-for-Safari-iOS
