here is a question, do people actually have to go to google.co.au, or does Google redirect them there when they go to google.com?

- mahmud 17y agoGoogle redirects you.
- tokenadult 17y agoGoogle redirects you. Are you writing that from Australia? To the contrary, I find that I can search with any country's version of Google, including non-English versions, from here in the United States. Could Australian participants confirm or deny the quoted statement? I thought other comments posted to this thread earlier already stated that Australians can search Google from any of Google's national sites.
- mahmud 17y agoI am in Australia. If I type google.com I end up in google.com.au.
- repsilat 17y agoSearches to google.com aren't redirected, just requests for the front page. If you specifically want google.com (and not google.com.au) you can go to google.com/ncr instead.
- whatusername 17y agoTo agree with mahmud - Just fired up a chrome incognito window: Type in www.google.com Google redirects me to www.google.com.au There's a link on the page to go to www.google.com If I want to type something like www.google.co.nz into the browser I can search NZ fine. But getting to www.google.com is a two step process.
