Google redirect

[harveypooka]

I always use google.com, but today I noticed that google.com redirects me
to my country's google, google.co.uk. Weird.

Just tried it, it's doing the same to me too. www.google.com -> www.google.co.uk

 

[TBR]

correct

Thats handy.

Also there's a UK Froogle? Is that new?

nice one anyway!

 

[wordmunger]

Main differences: No froogle link on homepage, option to search UK only pages. Anything I'm missing?

Oddly, I don't get redirected to Google.com when I search google.co.uk.

HA! Google's been doing that to me for years. I type in "google.com" and it forwards me to the US site.

 

[russed]

wow how random, yet when i still use the searchy thingy in camino it still takes me to the .com site!

It's been going for perhaps a couple of months. This is the first time it's had a link from the homepage, though.

Google has been doing that to AU users for a long tome now.

The "i" and the "o" are to close tigether on my keyboard.

it was doing the same for me with google.com to google.de and the same with the news site but I deleted the cookies and everything came as before, Safari & Camino work with google.com but Firefox with google.de and the results are different... and now there is something really odd, my friend at work and I were looking the same thing on google, I was with my iBook and Safari, he has a PC and Firefox, same search but different results, the first page I got was his 6th , we deleted cookies but was still different... , he said loud to me: "Möchtest du mich verarschen oder was?"

Meh,

Google has done that to me for ages. I get redirected to Irish Google, German Google and / or Swedish Google.

For about a year, maybe more, now.
