Set the desired country option at the top left in the first page of results then search again.
If you always want to search in the UK, as an example, then you can set your home page or a bookmark with a DuckDuckGo url that will automatically load those settings for you. You will then get a mostly UK based search. It's far from perfect. Like the dilution of the Boolean search function the region specific function also seems to be less effective than it used to be. Not sure why. Maybe something to do with the search engine optimisation algorithms that companies pay to get better rankings.
If you want an example URL for a UK-specific DuckDuckGo bookmark, with safe search off, then here's a basic one (in code tags to stop the PPRuNe redirect function):
Code:
https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&kp=%2D2&kk=%2D1&kv=%2D1&k1=%2D1&kac=%2D1&kak=%2D1&kao=%2D1&kaq=%2D1
