    Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone knows if the google search can be defaulted to only use pages from UK first? I am fed up getting millions of stuff that bears no relevence cos you have to be (usually) in the USA.

    I have noticed that sometimes, even after I've clicked for UK only, it still shows foreign pages. any ideas anyone, please?

    cheers

    and some UK sites, and pages, will be missing.

    One of the sites we manage has both .CO.UK and .COM versions, and Google lists different pages from each site and provides different search weighting - although the sites are identical.
