Does anyone use I-Google as the homepage?

    I have been playing around with it today, adding gadgets, webmaster tools etc and I really like how you can fuse everything together as a home page. My only problem is that the search results on that page just come from the web! Whilst with Google.co.uk, it gives you the choice to search the results from the web and from the UK alone which is what I need. I have looked in preferences, but can't figure this out. Is it possible to view both types of results in I-Google? If not, I will just have to view I-Google via favourites and carry on with Google.co.uk as my homepage; it's just that I like to constantly monitor how pages are doing both from the UK and web.

    Cheers.

    it's great because you can create your own widget/gadget and it's not hard to do--- there are a couple of tutorials out there to get you started and even create what you are looking for...

    Thanks for all the feedback. I have given up on using it as a homepage due to the search issue, but I will still use I-Google daily as it seems like a handy little page. The widgets I like were the Google webmasters tool, weather in your area, famous quotes, wiki search, calender, themes, news and so on... all joined together on one page. Great little tool.
