Is your feature request related to a usage problem (not a bug)? Please describe. Yes. Since the results displayed are from other regions, the content displayed is mostly not relevant.

Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented In the same way as it is already possible to select the region for the "Trending" videos, the user could have the option to select the country by which he wants to filter the results.

Describe alternatives you've considered I tried to see if the results would change depending on the IP location, but there was no change. North and South American IP's had the same results displayed.

Screenshots Here is a screenshot for a simple search for the term Github. The results are as diverse as possible and none seem to be related to the language freetube is using (portuguese).

Additional context The invidious seems to have an option to do something similar, using the hl:LOCALE option in the search bar filters the results based on what was requested. But this is only limited for some regions.
