Default Google UK

Does anyone know how to view google.com in a UK browser everytime it defaults to .co.uk.

MSN you can view .com and .co.uk and also in yahoo but not google. Is there a way in the browser settings to switch off default to uk??

Default Google UK/Com

You can just change the URL manually

eg: I searched for cars it automatically looked on UK

with this URL:
cars - Google Search

So I changed the co.uk to .com

cars - Google Search

and hit enter.

Although for searching purposes, co.uk web search offers the same results as .com (usually)

Hope that helps :D

Thanks Claire, there's actually an option under the search bar now to switch between the 2 but there wasn't when I was trying to get it to work
