How do users see/set "Near Me" distance?

Thanks for the prompt response. Ability to search by “near any place” like that is pretty cool. I don’t quite know what the use case would be for my site which is a national directory of clubs and events people search for at the city or state level, but I see how it’d be valuabe for local directories.

Consider my voice one asking to prioritize user-side setting of near-me distance.

An interesting related oddity I just discovered. If you type “near something” in the search field it works great, offers you options with the “Near: Something” format, for example a city like Denver:

But the word “in” doesn’t work the same though, which is a shame. In V1 searching in region was tricky because people needed to know to pause for the “In: Colorado (region)” to pop up and then pick that.

Based on how “near Denver” works I was hoping a quick “in Colorado” and quick click of the enter key would work that same way, so you could tell people to search in those two ways without relying on the popup menu.

Know what I mean? Hopefully that’s something y’all can add, and not a “just the way it is” with the google search thingy.
