Apparently it's not hard to turn off search personalization: https://myaccount.google.com/activitycontrols/search https://myaccount.google.com/activitycontrols/search This will turn off all localization except language, location, and device type (mobile vs desktop). Google doesn't have a way to turn off localization - obviously, it'll display different results for "football" in the US than in the rest of the world, and neither result is the "official" one. If you need to change language, that's easy, it's just in search settings. If you need to change location or device type, that's harder. You can either use Chrome's dev tools, or a tool like http://www.isearchfrom.com/ http://www.isearchfrom.com/
