"Liverpool to Manchester" returns "= about 5415 kilometres"

Hey there, this looks like an issue with Kagi's Wolfram|Alpha integration. Their backend sometimes gets confused on inputs 🙂
If you click the little i next to that number you'll be able to see the W|A page in question, including what inputs and assumptions it used. Marking this as nofix for now, if you believe there's more to be added I can open it back up!

RoxyRoxyRoxy If you click the little i next to that number

The icon should be right next to the number, not on the opposite side of the screen. Law of proximity and stuff.

Hey! I didn't know I could see the inputs and assumptions in that link! Thanks!
However WA's answer is different. I assume 5415 comes from a particular combination of the various Liverpools and Manchesters.

abilops When searching from the UK the result is correct. Perhaps Kagi should default to the most relevant cities when searching internationally?

abilops

dreifach Yes, or at least mention the cities this distance is between.

abilops We can take a look at improving what info is surfaced from W|A :)

I searched from en - CA (Canada) and the result returned was also correct. I checked using the International region and it, too, was correct.

abilops

Dustin Interesting! Are you using the region setting below the search box? When I search from UK or US, I still get the same result!

Dustin

abilops yeah, odd that we are getting different results.

Checking in CA, US, GB and International regions I’m getting the expected results
