If you go to maps.kagi.com and in allow access to your location local results should be better. If it doesnt ask for access to your location there is a small icon on bottom right hand side that shows if it has access.

That's great if I'm trying to find a location, but that's not what local results is about.

Local results means that if I search for "driving laws", Google gives me .gov sites for my state as the top results, while Kagi's first page gives me results for 8 other states (including Alaska!) but not for my state.

There are a lot of kinds of queries that benefit from knowing the user's location even though they aren't actually looking for a place that exists on a map.

(I'm a happy paying Kagi user, but OP is right that this is its weakest point by far.)

Isn't the alternative to just simply type "driving laws for [state]"? That doesn't seem too odious.

For what it’s worth DuckDuckGo is flawed in the exact same way. I ended up leaving DDG for the exact same reason years ago
