It has a quick region switcher like DDG (a must-have for me), and the results are way better than DDG. Give it a try!
I just did a Google vs Kagi test on "grzyby marynowane" (pickled mushrooms, usually pickled champignons, a common snack on Polish family gatherings). Both start with recipes, then there is Allegro ("Polish Amazon") where you can buy jars of them, then Google page ends (10 results/page), while Kagi (20? results/page) continues with some podcast episode about them, a Wikipedia page, some more recipes in Polish and English and finally a Pinterest page (:rage:). Meanwhile on DuckDuckGo: first page is just recipes, then on second page you have pretty unrelated articles like "where to pick wild mushrooms" and an Allegro link in between.
However, they are using Apple Maps for maps/POI search. As you well know, they are quite useless to us compared to Google Maps, so I keep using !gm bang to get redirected. Bangs work almost like DDG, the only difference is that they must be at beginning or end of your search (DDG lets you put it in between words too).
