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

Why not just use bangs to change from the more common to less common region on a search by search basis? Or just use the programming (or other) lens for documentation
Thanks for mentioning bangs! I'm having the same issue as in the parent comment and didn't realize you could use bangs to set the location. Still not an ideal solution for me, because it requires me to plan ahead when typing the query (or rewriting it later, which is slower).
Every once in a while, I looked for an alternative to Google. I have given them all a go, but none of them stayed as my default for more than a few days. Until Kagi. I absolutely did not think I would pay for a search engine. Especially as I've recently been on a quest to cut every unnecessary subscription. YouTube Premium is gone (thanks to 83/% family plan price hike). Half of my dozen or so domains are gone... you…
For me, Chatgpt / Bard and similar (Perplexity) has replaced 85 percent of Google searches so I feel Kagi will be a step backwards in this regard Perhaps better than Google, but the whole paradigm shifted

That said, I'm a paying customer and will continue to be.
Would be nice to open those paywalled articles with archive.ph.

Similar here. I didn't know Kagi until, as I remember, there was an article here on HN. I thought too why should I pay for search? Kagi basically won me after I realised I can exclude whole domains from search results - now Pinterest, Stackshare and all those AI-generated content filler sites are gone from my search results. Search results are great and it's just worth it. The only advantage Google so far has IMHO is…
Actually, you can configure this with Kagi and it works really well, at least on my area.
I bought a year of kagi and overly very satisfied. 2 things that annoy me about it: -I randomly get irrelevant international results as a US person (Amazon Canada and Amazon India for instance) -There are inconsistently labeled timestamps on things. I use reddit a lot when reviewing search results. Sometimes the reddit links are timestamped and sometimes they aren't. Leads to end up clicking on a reddit link that is…
