Maybe it was an attempt to make better their results for local results?
When searching for results from my country in DDG (picking the country in the drop-down below the search box) still returned results from the USA or other countries. Even when searching stuff in the local language. Maybe they tried to fix that because it really sucked, so much I never used it again for searching into local websites.
This is the one area it still ignores my location. I live in a town named after a UK city, there's several bigger towns in the US with the same name. I just searched "McDonalds city name." I got results for the locations at least half the US away from me, as well as Uber Eats GB.
