Kagi also links to an alphabetical list as first result. However, they also have a "quick answer" button using an LLM.
Quick Answer
The country in Africa that starts with the letter K is Kenya. [1] Kenya is located in East Africa and shares borders with Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia. [2]

Post truth. From the big G. How times have changed.
Also, tested Bard a few times and current AI is close to useless: I have to check everything it outputs. Might as well get an intern
"I have to check everything it outputs."
You should be doing that anyway.

The result if you unfortunately have Google's "Bard AI" search lab turned on. At least it has a disclaimer that the results may be garbage.
We as a society are so stupid that our collective dumbness has crippled AI. Its development has ground to a halt because machines cannot process the base level of stupidity that we all live in every day.
They wanted to copy our brains by studying us, but they can't because the vast majority of people don't use their brains in any meaningful way.
We thought we would make AI as smart as us. Alas, we instead made AI as dumb as us.

Showed up for me on google.ca lol. Glad I switched to duck duck go a whole a go.
We don't have AI. We have a chinese room.
Google is working perfectly fine for me. No AI or misleading answers. Haven't tried DuckDuckGo yet, but I'm fine with Google as-is. Here's what my results look like when searching for an African country that starts with K.
Edit: after reading some more comments, I can confirm that I don't get any strange results from any different ways of asking the question. Maybe it's a geographic thing?
I left google search some 5 years ago. About twice a year I find myself trying it and being amazed by how crap it is.
DDG FTW!
Ddg is powered by bing isn't it?
Yeah, it's basically bing with no Microsoft tracking. What the hell kind of timeline is this where bing is the best search engine?

Now that I think about it, I haven't used Google in a while, not even as a bang in DDG.
That's remind me when you search uselessbenchmark in google, it shows nothing related to userbenchmark but some post, if you search uselessbenchmark in DuckDuckGo and Bing it will show you userbenchmark in the first results.

My chatGPT got it correctly ;)
My ChatGPT, on the other hand, was not as helpful.
Bonus Bing AI result below.
Add to it Reddit use to have all the odd answers to things you had questions about. Unfortunately, for whatever reason that well has run dry.
