google search worldwide

[findtim]

hi, i have firefox's google global but it really still pushes its results back to aus domains.

i'm SICK of clearing caches and history etc on a 2 minute basis.

anyone know the PERFECT system to be FREE to search usa, uk get valid results as i am looking int those markets but bloody google is making me "blind" to what is really happening.

Use a VPN or (anonymous) proxy in those countries.

First off start using Google Splice. I then use hidemyass.com > google.co.uk etc

 

[findtim]

i can't find google splice? is it a browser?

i want to surf/research not enter url's

I think splice comes default with chrome now.

For google US you should also be able to go to google.com/ncr

 

[findtim]

google.com/ncr

thanks, thats working well, still brings up a few au's but in general its pretty good

chrome: still can't find anything to do with splice, and it also won't let me get out of australia.

Google Ad Preview Tool will show you location based PPC and Organic results.

This list might be useful Tim.

It's a list of engines you can add to the default search box for firefox.

The 'perfect' system is to use a proxy based in the country you want to browse google in. As someone already suggested hidemyass.com works well for the US.

I tend to just use the following urls which on my system do not redirect the organic results to Australia:

www.google.com/?hl=en
www.google.co.uk/?hl=en

etc.

The ?hl=en seems to stop it redirecting for me...

Thanks, both those work well for me.
