Searching for <city> weather should be centered in user's region

With Canada set as my region, searching for victoria weather, results in a widget for Hong Kong weather, instead of Victoria, BC. I would expect the search to be grounded in the user's region, and thus return nearest Victoria to either the user's set region or their IP region.

Another example. In this case, I would expect duncan weather to be shown. Instead, I get Duncan, OK, USA.

Searching for duncan bc weather causes the weather widget to not show entirely.

I live in France, in a city called "Laval," located in a department called "Mayenne." The problem: when I search for "laval weather" or "weather laval," I end up with the widget for "Laval, Quebec" (see https://kagi.com/search?q=laval+weather).

There are several ways to fix this:

Accept that a user might type "city country" (e.g., "laval france weather") or "city department" (e.g., "laval mayenne weather").
Use the user's IP address to determine their search country and display the city relevant to their location by default ("laval weather" would then return the result for the city where I live, and I would need to add "quebec" to my search to find the other city with the same name).

I'm having the same issue. I search for "weather Stratford" and receive results for Connecticut instead of Stratford, Ontario. Similarly, if I search "weather waterloo", I get results for Austin, Texas instead of Waterloo, Ontario. Searching "weather Cambridge" returns Cambridgeshire, England.

I would expect it to use my location, or at the very least, my language preferences (Canadian English) to prioritize locations near me.
