> Does Kagi have a better localized experience?

I'm in India and it works well. I can even search in Hindi and get good results.

The only thing that doesn't work are local points of interests (restaurants, hotels, local businesses, etc). I still have to use Google Maps to look these up. Then again, even Apple doesn't have good local results for PoIs in India, so I don't expect Kagi to get this right either.

That said, I often turn off localized results completely and just use the international results. Those tend to be more diverse and more useful, at least for the sort of searches I tend to do.

I really like Kagi for this reason, the ability to choose whether I want "international" results or localized to a country (and choose the country, sometimes it's not mine).

I agree that for very localized results (not at country level but city level), I still use Google instead.
