    I want to make a survey if how many are using their local Google Search like for example:

    Does resident from UK are using Google.co.uk? Or do you prefer Google.com

    Looking for your input.


    Cheers

    People should stop using Google. Their search algorithm is crap.

    So to answer your question, when I type in yahoo.com instead of google.co.uk or google.com, it's much better.

    I use google.co.uk . Google.com automatically redirects me there. But on the homepage I have a choice to search the whole web or just the UK. I think google is brilliant, it is simple to use, has additional features such as image search, translation, dictionary and a calculator and isn't full of advertising.

    It's not crap. It's just changing quite often...

    No.. I prefer Google.com. I'm usually searching for things in English anyways. The Dutch results aren't as good as English results. :)
