KAGI LETS USERS FILTER OUT PAYWALLED SEARCH RESULTS

The update addresses a common frustration with search engines—encountering articles behind paywalls that users cannot access. With this setting enabled, Kagi will remove links to paywalled articles from search results, surfacing only freely accessible content. Users can toggle the feature on or off depending on their preferences. The addition reflects Kagi's broader approach to customization; the search engine already offers various filters and settings for refining results by region, date, and content type. Kagi operates on a subscription model rather than ad-supported search, positioning paywalled content filtering as a natural extension of its user-control philosophy. The changelog entry generated significant discussion on Hacker News, where users praised the feature for improving search utility while some noted limitations in identifying paywalled sites. The feature is now available to all Kagi subscribers.
