    Oh, yes indeed. Map mode would request accurate geolocation.

    When using a regular search for “chinese food near me” I see results for a city thousands of km away.

    Yeah, that’s an unfortunate reality of IP geolocation, it’s not very accurate to begin with and can be extremely inaccurate in some cases too.
    Does Google (without a login) have the same issue with your public IP?

    Perhaps when a location query is detected Kagi could show a little button to use accurate geolocation instead. They seem to be pretty on top of little UX issues like these, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they implemented a solution like that if you opened a feedback thread.
