google.com will give you German ranking from Germany. You can still workaround that with google.com/ncr. The results are night and day for programming related questions. I've heard a while ago that they want to deprecate ncr though. Personally I use Google only for local searches and DuckDuckGo for almost everything else. Works well for me.
