Google search

Google.com search used to show me shopping results in the UK in sterling.
Now it's in $
I can't find the option to change it. Do I have to set a location or something? I think I can't see the wood for the trees.


It shows in ? if I do google.co.uk search, but... I don't really that much.

use froogle!

Is froogle google's shopping thing? That's in $ with US stores.
It always used to be in pound sterling with UK stores.

froogle.co.uk - works for me, was looking at TVs earlier. It actually redirects to Google Product Search Beta but is the same thing...

Google.co.uk then clicking shopping works fine for me.

or http://www.google.co.uk/prdhp

Yeah .co.uk works fine, but I almost never use it for info search

.com used to work fine for me and show uk shopping results

Figured it out in the end. I killed all my google cookies. It now gives results in ?

In other Google search news, I wish it would search for what I tell it to search for, instead of what it thinks I meant to search for.

In more Google news (OK it's really old news) you know sometimes when they change the Google logo into a picture for some sort of theme, well in a lot of cases there is a Triforce emblem hidden in the picture

[charlesr]

For real?

Yeah, I guess the artist was a fan of Zelda. Not sure if anyone is still carrying on the "hidden Triforce" thing now though.
