Actually, I was wrong. The results are US only, so (for now, anyways) you can view what the results looked like before the update by changing the language parameter (&hl=) or the &gl= parameter in the url. For instance, pre-algo rankings (Mahalo #1):
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&gl=it&q=mcdonalds+coupons&aq=0&aqi=g2g-s1g5g-s2&aql= http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&...
Same query after the update (Mahalo at #7):
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&gl=us&q=mcdonalds+coupons&aq=0&aqi=g2g-s1g5g-s2&aql= http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&...
- gregable 16y agoThere are other confounding effects when you change the language parameter. Consider, for example, the query [bank] using your method: http://www.google.com/search?gl=en&q=bank http://www.google.com/search?gl=en&q=bank bankofamerica.om bankfashion.co.uk http://www.google.com/search?gl=it&q=bank http://www.google.com/search?gl=it&q=bank wikipedia.org bancaditalia.it
