Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month

I am giving it another shot. First thing I've noticed is the lack of localisation with results.

If I search for "Elac 6.2 speakers amazon" it comes up with a .com link. I have to search for "Elac 6.2 speakers amazon uk" for it to go to .co.uk.

This was an option with Google that I liked.

*Weirdly now if I search for "elac debut 6.2 amazon" it comes up with a UK link :S

There's a dropdown at the top for the locale - you can select UK and you should get UK results.

One of Kagi's core principles seems to be that they don't try to guess what you want. Their "Personalized Results" settings just ask you to tell them which domains you like and which you're tired of seeing. It makes sense that they'd ask you for your locale rather than guessing it from your IP or asking for location access.

As someone who's sick and tired of the way Google tries and fails to guess what I want—to the point of now ignoring me when I try to tell it what I want with search operators—I appreciate this philosophy!
