It does though? Right under the search bar there should be a switch bar to turn on localized search, and a dropdown to pick different location.
Or is it itself location locked?

It is not accidental, they localize searches

Yes like many other search providers you can set to all, or whatever, but ddg will always localize your searches.
I have the opposite problem.
It is always unlocalized, and even if I set it to Belgium, it still is giving me French and German Sites.
Nope not locked. I have always on vpn (random countries) anti fingerprinting and DDG happily allows the search localisation to my actual or a different country
