Google international - bypass localized search

Monday, 23 June 2008

As you already know, Google is automatically redirecting to your country's Google domain. This is called geographic targeting. Google determines your geo location by searching your IP address in a IP-to-location database. But what if you're searching some code or english content and you're in Botswana? Google will favor Botswana results, and this is not always desirable.

The quick solution is to specifically search Google international at this URL

http://www.google.com/ncr

 Simple and effective. NCR=No Country Redirection.

Thanks. Now if we can just find a way to permanently disable Google's incredibly annoying drop down text search assist box. Kill it under advanced options, there it is again next time you open the page. Also, is there a way to reclaim Youtube from country restricted content? :(
