    google.com is the US search engine, but can be easily accessed in other English speaking countries. google.co.uk is the UK search engine.

    Google is specifically a world wide search engine divided into different domains for the most relative content within your local area.
    ex: google.com = usa
    google.ca = canada
    google.fr = france.
    etc...

    You want to rank on google.com for US-specific traffic.

    Google is a global search engine if you use google.com then the search will be global ... if you use the local google domain then the search will be bit local....

    Google is meant for global search, but google itself provides many search engines for each country.

    You can not access google.com seen in USA. If you what to check your ranking on google from USA, better search aol.com

    It is the most appropriate search results.

    If it is only UK directly than get a uk based domain like you speak of. It will also rank global as well

    Google.com is for United States however people outside US also access it to search terms.

    So how can I get the global search results from Google? Do you mean that wherever I am, if I put in google.com, and search for certain terms, what I will get is American search results?

    It would be more correct to say that the search results that are custom-tailored to the US location get displayed in google.com.

    If you want to see search results for another location, you need to use URL parameters.

    for example, if I wanted to do a UK search from the USA with Google.com:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=banks&gl=uk&pws=0

    GL=country code (use Google to find the list of country codes!).

    Going to google.com/ncr from outside the USA just shows global results/rankings.
