Kagi Product Tips – Customize Your Search Results with URL Redirects

Summary

If you've ever clicked on a search result only to land on a version of a site you don't prefer, Kagi's URL Redirects (also known as URL Rewrites) puts you in control by automatically rewriting search result URLs before you even click them. What are URL Redirects on Kagi Search? URL Redirects are a powerful Kagi feature that lets you set up textual find-and-replace rules for search result URLs. When a search result matches one of your rules, Kagi rewrites the URL so you always land exactly where you want to. Here are three practical ways to use it: 1. Replace Domain Want to always visit the old Reddit interface instead of the redesign? Or prefer an alternative frontend for a service? With a simple domain-level redirect, you can swap one domain for another across all search results: FindReplacereddit.comold.reddit.com 2. Replace in Path Sometimes it's not the whole domain that you want a redirect for, it's a specific path segment. This is particularly useful if a project moved its docs and search engines still index the old location, or you want to pin results to a specific version of documentation: FindReplace/docs/v2//docs/v3/ 3. Redirect AMP sites to their original URL AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) is a Google-backed web framework that creates stripped-down versions of web pages designed to load faster on mobile devices, often served from Google's own cache rather than the original publisher's server. Google's AMP pages may show up in search results with mangled URLs that route through Google's cache. With Kagi Redirects, you can strip the AMP wrapper and go straight to the original source: FindReplacehttps://www.google.com/amp/s/https:// How do they work? Each redirect rule follows a simple format: two URLs separated by a pipe character |: ^URL you want to change | URL you want to go to instead For example, say you prefer viewing Bluesky posts through Witchsky, an alternative frontend. You'd add this rule: ^https://bsky.app|https://witchsky.app When a redirect is...
