It's essentially search-space limitation, based on what you want to nudge the engine into responding with.

I.e. what power users used to do with Google, before it decided to ignore user intent

I don't know how you could ever do kagi small web with google.

That's not a simple hard filter but changes what types of results are more or less preferred.

Lenses are different from kagi small web. I encourage you to read the docs on both.

You are replying on someone explaining lenses which is something google had something similar in the past when they allowed power users to control search.

You can still use -site:{url} and related:{url} and after:{yyyy-mm-dd date}

But really, this is 2024. I shouldn't have to manually enumerate things in Google to get it to spit out serviceable results.

And the above nudges are pretty blunt force, compared to how much more it used to respect exact keywords.
