That's actually something I dislike, I don't want my results to be different based on where I am.

  The results that you get in Google also depend on your location

    Which is a massive problem. When I travel abroad it becomes unusable as it doesn't give me the usual.

      I see you’re in Thailand… all dates are now using the Buddhist calendar. You’re welcome.

  Yeah I agree on that one, if I wanted results specific to where I physically am I'd append the city/country name to my search. Example where this annoys me with Google: if I search for "gdb", the first result is a local burger place named GDB, and not the GNU Debugger

  I really love Duck Duck Go's solution: Below the search input is a small toggle, allowing me to toggle whether results are based on my location or now. Most of the time I don't, but every now and then the results improve if I explicitly toggle results for my country on Edit: I just saw that Kagi supports "regional bangs", e.g. !nl to search results for The Netherlands. This is, for me, almost on par with DDG

    Kagi also has the location toggle, it works the same way as DDG

  Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. If you're looking for something in the area where you live, you kinda need location-based search. Having it something you can toggle makes a lot of sense.
