The regex redirect feature is another massive pro. I hope they bring it into Orion as well.
I already use Stop the Madness for this, and probably will continue to as it’s a more global solution, but having it built right into the search engine at least shows they’re taking real steps to hand control back to the user.

Especially for us who had apollo set up just right for all our own personal idiosyncrasies lol
Thunder is too far behind to compete right now, but damn if the front runners aren’t setting the bar high
Ok. I find beauty pageants in general to be reductive and gross… but yeah. You can smell the stink on that decision from Canada.
I mean just look at Yamikani.
In no universe are they on the same level.
