GoKawiilIf 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:
Find Replace reddit.com old.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:
Find Replace /docs/v2/ /docs/v3/
