A friend of mine pointed out that when he searched for "Mecca", the top hit was Mecca, Indiana -- deeply unintuitive. When I try, I get a random place in Tatarstan: https://kagi.com/maps/search?q=mecca&ll=45.185946,-63.016987&z=6.745812999435509#4.57/57.88/33.61
(Not necessarily related, but when I put in "Mecca" in Kagi Search, the top hit is https://www.mecca.com/en-au/ -- that's also fairly bizarre.)
Today, he tried "Nova Scotia", and got a very random-seeming location in the English Midlands: https://kagi.com/maps/info?q=Nova%20Scotia&ll=53.2126661,-2.5835509&id=te6SQrTYDqKRVy5dtXTjxzReW2IKWgw-7kmXnEMuFuA#7.36/53.212/-2.59
Granted, these searches are ambiguous. But he's basically written Kagi Maps off as unusable because it doesn't use the intuitively-obvious top hits as the primary search result -- indeed, the results seem to be pretty random. I think this is a pretty serious bug in how we're resolving geographic searches.
When a Maps search is to a location of serious geopolitical importance, Kagi Maps ought to be sensitive to that, and choose that location as the first hit.
