Just to respond to the comments raised...

I'd ask yourself what UX _would be_ acceptable. Kagi shows a login page, if you
sign into your account, it continues the search. I don't know how you could get
better UX for what the product is, or why that would be user hostile or
confusing.

In a sense, I think it's the predominance of Google and its decades long
dominance of the search industry that's created an unfair expectation.

This isn't about being preferred, it's about being _included at all_. The
current status quo is if you're a user of Kagi, you must be technically
proficient enough to understand URLs and how to add the URL to KDE's search
system.

... I'm not going to continue the fight; I ultimately don't think it's worth it
at this point. You guys do great work, and it's not my intent to badger you
guys into doing something you don't want to do ... but I will "go on the
record" and say, I think you're getting this one wrong.
