    Duckduckgo has a toggle to disable location-based results though? You can also choose a different location if you want to.

        This one. I haven’t tested it systematically but it works well enough for me. If I search just for ‘restaurants’, the map will use my location, but the regular search results are tripadvisor and opentable results for Chicago, Bronx, and Milwaukee, none of which are remotely close to me. 367a7cda-a957-404b-ad9e-21e3d2c9b804

        Edit: Just realised the marking wasn’t saved, but the toggle is right above the map.

            I think the map part is separate, the regular results didn’t take my IP into account from what I can tell. But I can’t guarantee that of course. Otherwise you could also check out mojeek. From their about page:
