Hey everyone,

Just wondering as I'm from the UK, is there any way I can search on Google US search results?

Thanks,
Gee

  • does typing http:// www .google.com/ncr work? this should always go to the main google.

  • Type "gl=us" at the back of the URL in the address box of your browser.

    • This is true and working you just need little tweak must add "&"

      so this would be "&gl=us"

      Which means GlobalLocation = UnitedStates

  • Hey guys,

    Just to let you know, the only one that worked for me was Zoneinfinite's.

    Thanks.
  • Yuyan's suggestion should work.

    I'm surprised Zone's suggestion works. Google usually defaults to your local server by determining your IP and switch if you use a different one.

    This works for any location:

    google.com/adpreview
  • Yep Lucid I'm having trouble with zoneinfinite's method now.

    Can anyone provide a direct link please?

    • Have you tried what GeorgR said? I think it should work well.
  • Nah it doesn't work, I'm still receiving UK results.

    I'm trying Yuyuan's methods but I get a "page not found" message.

    I'm typing in google.com/gl=us but I'm doing something wrong.

    • It's because it's not gl=us. It's actually "&gl=us".

      You can't just type in Google.com&gl=us either. You need to have asearch query then you add "&gl=us" to the end of the url you get and you have the us results.

  • DOH!

    Thanks for the help everyone. All sorted!

  • Foresights link is the same as google.com/adpreview, a little easier to remember.

    And as others have pointed out, it's &gl=us that you add to the URL AFTER you do a search. Haven't used this method in years since I discovered the above but I know it works. You just need a list of country codes if you want to check others.
