I feel like this would be great advice if "CDL" was unambiguously googleable. This might be regional but I have no idea what this is meant to mean.

Commercial Driver's License. Other countries might have their own terms for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_driver%27s_license

Commercial Drivers License

Second result for me is "commercial driver's license" on both Kagi and Google.

There is no shared reality on those search engines and on google there hasnt been for almost a decade

Huh?

Kagi was founded in 2018, and I just gave you an example of a shared reality between those two search engines. For your information, the first result of both searches was the same as well.

Obviously given I'm paying for Kagi I believe it has some value over Google, but there's still a pretty significant core of searches that it doesn't really matter which engine you're using.

I think the point made there was that the results you see will differ based on where you are in the world, on both search engines. Admittedly I haven't used Kagi so I'm not sure this is the case, but I believe that was the point.

Thanks to all who responded to the post though. I can see this answer in my results, just further down the list than most people are suggesting due to whatever targeting I'm receiving.

Try:

“Define:CDL”

Where I’m from at least, commercial drivers license fills the first two pages.

It's truck driver certification.
