Try looking for your a local Thai restaurant in your area. Kagi doesn’t profile you so it doesn’t know where you are, so any local searches involve adding a keyword or doing the search a second time with !g.
I just tried it on Kagi and it suggested a Yelp link for restaurants in McKinney TX which is nowhere near where I am.
Google uses what it knows about you as context — which arguably many folks here are against— but it does get me the right results in one go.
- wkat4242 2y agoAh ok that explains a lot. I use a lot of privacy protection when I use any Google features (like running them in a separate Firefox container so it can't see other web activity). So I'm used to specifying that already.

- commandar 2y agoI just looked and I can't find any option to localize results more specifically than "United States." I'm not finding anything in a KB search either. If the option is there, it has really poor discoverability. I love the service, but poor local results is definitely one of its weak points and basically the only reason I ever fall back to Google anymore.
- wenc 2y agoI’m not sure it exists. You can opt in on Kagi maps but not search.
