I cant get the google search engine, any one else having the same problem?

gords:
No ... but strangely, I can't get to the .com version as it keeps redirecting me to the .co.uk one. I'm sure it never used to do that :-k

strapping young lad:
hi gords

have you ever set your preferences on the google site? if so it puts a cookie in your pc so it knows if you go to .com it goes to .co.uk

the techie bit could also mean that they detect which ip address you are on (hence knowing the country of origin it came from) and then directing you to your local google website.

both are possible btw.

Ive just used mine, for searching for Rangie stuff on the net. Seemed o.k,
but it didnt through up as many items found as it normally does ?.  :?

I have the Google toolbar which has a setting of which Google to use (UK) - it's probably been like it for ages, but I just haven't noticed :roll:
