Or…you could do an advanced search and request the language for results:
http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search?hl=en

What I’d find really useful, though, would be a way of finding sites in US or UK from either google.com or .co.uk

btw…apparently, if you google ‘google’ - it breaks the internet!

Or…do an advanced search and select English:

What I’d find really handy is a way of returning US or UK results from google.com or .co.uk. Or any country, come to that. Currently I’m looking for hotels in Gothenburg, and Google Maps keeps showing me Gothenburg VA. Do you get Paris, Texas?

Yep, your solution works fine, but for those of us who are too lazy to open up google, open the advanced search page, then type in our search, and just want to use the search bar at the top of the firefox window, that’s no good.

Paris, Texas scores sufficiently lower in google’s system that it’s never been a problem for me. I do remember though in the early days of the internet, I was in a chat room and said I was from London. They said something like: “oh wow! I didn’t realise they had the internet in Canada”.

You can’t do ’sites in the US’ as far as I know, but you can always find sites in the UK by including “site:.uk” in the search box.

On IE I automatically get Google.es, on Firefox I get Google.com.

Go figure…
