The high-order bit for me is that Stack Overflow is #1 for both pages. We can do localization based on TLD: the query [bank] will return different results on google.com vs. google.ie, for example. Without doing a deep dig yet, we might have thought that open-mag.com was more helpful for European searchers, for example. It looks like that site is based in Portugal.
- tomrod 16y agoKudos for keeping locational variety. Is there a flag/keyword we can enter into the search to ignore location?
- furyg3 16y agoSuch a flag would be reallllllly handy. I constantly switch between google's .com/.nl sites based on what language i'm searching in and what I'm looking for.
- tomrod 16y agoAgreed
- bemmu 16y agohttp://google.com/#q=kudos&hl=fi&gl=fi http://google.com/#q=kudos&hl=fi&gl=fi hl refers to the UI language and gl to localized results.
- Sephr 16y agoSome people may recommend http://www.google.com/ncr http://www.google.com/ncr, but have you tried actually asking for English when you request pages on Google? It sounds like you don't have your Accept-Language header set to English. If an Accept-Language: en header doesn't fix the problem, you should complain on HN (with a new thread) about it instead of using /ncr. Google really should support that.
