There was this old thread with an alternative way: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10791018 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10791018 I tried both but it seems still dead (or t's because I'm on mobile ?). To be honest I don't think it will either come back. There is such a long trend of getting rid of generic searches that it seems that Google has a very natural incentive to do so. I wouldn't be surprised that providing non localized search results has a very high cost (be it in performance, ad results or any other metric) on Google's side. It must feel logical in their position to reduce that cost to a minimum.
