Kiwi Search is here

1 min read·
Many users have been asking for a search, and it's finally here.
KN Search allows you to look for links and comments based on the keywords, like Google. So, if you have read a great essay and forgot the title or wanted to return to a conversation you saw in the app, you can now do it in a few clicks.
KNSearch is fast - you can go through our 11,000+ links and 2,000+ comments in a second or two. And it also lets you sort the content by popularity or freshness.
What's most amazing about KN Search is that it's been delivered 100% permissionlessly by our contributor, rvolz.eth. Rainer has been playing a very important role in Kiwi - you might know him as the creator of our Dune Dashboard, but he also runs his own Kiwi node and helped us fix the node syncing issues.
Here are a few words from Rainer on why he built Search on Kiwi:
"As for the reasons, when curating news on Kiwi News, sometimes you want to dig deeper and get a perspective on a story. KN itself, as a news site, has a shorter time horizon, so older stories tend to get lost.
Because the Kiwi News protocol provides a curated set of stories, it is a unique source of information for a search engine that is often struggling with noise and spam. So it was a no-brainer for me to build on that foundation."
So, go check out KNSearch here.
And if you find some interesting content on Kiwi, share it on Farcaster, X, or Lens. Don't hesitate to tag us!
The search is here to stay, this is great 👍
One way to fix search engine is to use social graph Today at the conference, vc investor used Telegram search to quickly lookup a company. In less than 30 seconds they were able to check product details, brand sentiment, and business associations. All information was coming from group chats they were in It would have never occur to me to use Telegram as a search engine. Now it’s kind of obvious: Google can’t keep up, internet is full of spam. With Telegram it’s possible to curate data sources filter through hand-picked endorsements Now imagine experience like that but across the whole internet. Big opportunity there
In a way, Kiwi Search works like this. You don't ask people on group chats, but you can read the comments and check commentators provenance https://paragraph.xyz/@kiwi-updates/kiwi-search-is-here
that's pretty cool wdyt @0xconca.eth
Woah pretty wild thought indeed 😮
1. there is gigabrain for reddit https://thegigabrain.com/ 2. I've been telling that my team for the past 6 months. Search among community platform sucks and people rely on people for information. even if the info comes from semi-strangers
oh wow. didn’t know about GigaBrain

yes, this exactly.
would love to hear more from you about it. have you been thinking about it?
I've never tried Telegram search. If you have no chats (you just signed up), does it still work?
I don’t think so. It limits to spaces you are member of
Very unique way to look at telegram. Once this goes mainstream , think you'd also need reputation primitives (can i trust this person or not ) , happens already on reddits via karma etc. I infact use TG, Discord for all research around products with an active community - so much alpha in there.
