Basically the title. There are other privacy focused+free search engines, such as duckduckgo, startpage and brave search. What makes Kagi worth the $10/month?

    I’ve been trying to get into Searx for about a month now, but I just cannot make it work the way I want it to.
    The auto-detect is constantly in the wrong country, sometimes throwing me to a random one if I search for a product e.g.
    If I lock it to one country it works better, but then it excludes so much potentially useful data.

    Any advice on how to set it up a bit to make it work better?

      I believe the auto-detect is based on a geo-ip database. If you are connecting from a VPN or datacenter IP then I imagine you might have unexpected results.
