Safari Google giving me results from Europe more than USA

I have notice in the past few weeks that when I google from Safari that most of my results are coming from europe and canada and just a few are from the USA some do not even use the roman alphabet.

How do I fix this?

If you have Google in your favorites in Safari delete it.
Restart your computer. Type in http://www.google.com
as soon as it opens click on favorites and then save it.
This should do it for you. It sounds like you might have went to a google site that was from the Google Europe and saved a page somewhere along the line and thats what your getting.

Hi Leon

are you accessing google from the built-in google search within Safari - or going to a google page & then entering your search terms?

either way - I guess you're using google.com? ( check the url or the results page )

At the top of the results page - to the right of the 'search' button..... you should see a "preferences" link - click that & see if any of the options are set differently to how you'd like ( you can exclude pages not in English, for example ) . Save those prefs & try google again.


If you still have no joy - use Safari-Preferences-Security-Show Cookies & find/remove any that relate to google. Then click 'Done' & close the preferences. Did that get your results back to 'normal'?
