Solution The main purpose of "string to automatically append to all search queries" setting was to create regional search engines. Even though this setting will match your requirement. You can add your phrase in that text box to search results having this phrase and at the same time making the end-user unaware of the phrase append from backend.

Regional Search engine with K-Search
====================================
In the K-Search script regional searches can be retrieved by adding the 'Country code top-level domain' with the search string. Eg: if you want to get Indian regional sites (Country code top-level domain for India = .in ) add 'site:.in' with the search string. The K-Search script helps to add this append string from the administration panel itself. There is a text box 'String to automatically append to all search queries:' in the Options, you can place this append string in this text box and when an end-user search with your search engine, he will not realize that an append string (the site:.in) is added in the search query.
