Hugh – many thanks for the Google.co.uk fix. It’s been driving me mad on my netbook having managed to change very easily on main PC in Firefox IE7.

Raising a cyber-glass to you here!

Hurray!

There is an even easier way!!! Go to Microsoft’s IE UK search guide at the following link and click on “Google”. It will install the google.co.uk version of search (plus you will get the benefit of search suggestions!)

If you just install the normal google search provider you can set it to uk by

open regedit
search for http://www.google.com/search?q=&rls
select the item titled URL. type REG_SZ
Change the .com section to .co.uk

now all results through the search bar come up as .co.uk

Didn’t work 1st time (IE8).
I had to delete %7 then retyped %7 … maybe your website includes a hidden line break/ or something???
Anyway – thanks toooo much for the solution.

Thanks so so so much! Since I downloaded the latest firefox version, and since i’m temporarily living abroad, the foriegn results returned has been driving me up the wall. I’ve literally trawled through dozens of sites in hope of finding the correct xml code for a google.co.uk search, with no luck; until now! Much Appreciation and many thanks!
