I am using Orion Version 0.99.124.1-beta (WebKit 616.1.10) installed on macOS Ventura 13.4

I am trying to use the Orion Quick Searches function, but after several hours of trying I can not get it to work at all.

I have been very careful and precisely followed all the instructions given here:
https://help.kagi.com/orion/features/quick-searches.html#macOS

When I perform the Quick Search describe in that article:
typing yt cats in Orion's address bar will send you into a search for "cats" on YouTube.

However I do not get search results for "cats" on YouTube.

I am given Search Results for "cats" on Bing which is my default search engine.

I have also tried many times to set up Quick Searches via the Orion Settings Menu and this method also fails to produce the desired Quick Search Results, I always get the Bing Search Results.

Please help me to get the Quick Search function to work properly.

    What information do you need exactly? I'm having the same issue as this original post on MacOS and iOS (both on the latest stable version). Added the example YouTube Bookmark, changed "cats" to %s and added yt as the invoker but it just sends me to Qwant, my configured search engine.

        Should this help, below debug logs of me creating said bookmark then trying the search:
