And that is cool. I am wondering how easy it is to run another instance of Kennedy from scratch on my own, just for redundancy?

Is there any way you could a link to return to the site being searched at the top or bottom of the results?

@satch Either it's in your browser's history or there is not "back", because you came from another place altogether.

Most likely people want to select the appropriate search result links anyway.

An extra link would only help if there are no results and no browser histiory. Which means, not the searched capsule but someone else linked to this search.

What exact use case do you have in mind?

🐐 satch · Dec 30 at 20:22:

@michaelnordmeyer the use case in considering is if they don’t find what they are looking for, probably because there are no results but not necessarily. Maybe they want to try another search. Of course it’s _usually_ in the browser history but that’s less convenient imo.

It’s not the most vital feature in the world. Another nice thing would be if the New Search link also searched just the capsule. Not sure if there is an easy way to implement this though.

@satch "site:example.com keyword" without the quotes works.

@satch thanks these are good suggestions
