Have country/region value in control center stick in new sessions (unaffected by the language switch when searching)

Here's what I'd expect it to behave like, though I know it isn't currently the case

The control centers setting should be named and work as the "default" setting. Such as 'default search region'.

The filter when searching should always be the default unless changed for a specific search.

Say I search "pizza" and my default is UK, I'll get UK in the filter, I could then quick ly toggle the filter to Italy which will change the results to Italian results for this search/session only. After which the filter will return to what is the default set in the control center.

Amazingly everybody gave a different view of what the feature should work like.

Unless there is strong opposition we will implement it in the way it was originally proposed

Vlad I like this proposal, but will merely visiting settings reset the region? The settings screen feels more like an overlay. I wouldn't expect it to actually change anything if I open it and then close it without touching anything else.

whee Not visiting control center, but "All Settings" page.

Vlad Right, that's the one. It mentally feels like a window over the search page. If I open a window and then just click the "X" to close, a state change would be surprising. Right now it seems to retain my previous search and filters and that matches what I'm expecting to happen.

Just found this thread and I need to add this was one of my main cases of me switching to Google. I use international by default, but sometimes I need something more local and typing the prefix "g" before the query was much easier than opening the control center and switching the country. (also regional bangs doesn't work for me because of pre-existent bang).

I agree with removing it altogether from the Control Center. It doesn't really serve any purpose there and just muddies the waters. The default region should be set under All Settings and then the per search region can be changed right at the search page.

As for how long a change at the search page region should last: I think that any time you search via the address bar (when Kagi is the default search engine) the default region from All Settings should be used. Even if that tab had previously been changed to another region. So, if that rules out option B, then I guess option A. But I would actually prefer option B where a tab stays in that region until it is closed, except if a search is made from the address bar.

swap Happy to do so.
