Google Suggest is now mainstream

    Five minutes ago I went to my personalized Goog homepage and when I started typing I got suggestions (before only on Google Suggest).

    I tried this on google.com/ig, google.com and google.ro (I'm in Romania).

    Anybody else seeing this?

    Nope dont see it either. I dont think it will ever will as it would completly change searching habbits affecting the adwords marketing.

    Could they be trying this on just a few ip's to see what could happen? Or is it my fault?

    The only plugs I have on Firefox are StumbleUpon and Adblock, I don't think they could do this!

    How come I never see it? I am automatically redirected to google.com.my, is there a way to stay on google.com?

    It's based on your location...

    for me, if I go to straight to google.com, I get redirected, but if I use the search bar of Firefox I stay on .com

    They test these UI's all over the place - Not just google.com..

    It's luck more than anything else if you do see it.

    I know it redirects to a local Google. So, is there a way to force it to stay on .com using IE?
