quick tip : google.com/ncr for no country redirect.


This is something different than just being redirected to a different domain. I already have it set up so google.com/ncr is my main google page

It doesn't work on .com for me, it doesn't work on .dk (I'm from denmark). Doesn't work on .nl which someone reported worked for him. It's weird

Also tried it in both firefox and chrome.

And someone else mentioned it didn't work for him without a google account, I've tried both logged in and logged out


Never knew it, thanks! You don't know how many times I struggled with getting good result, because I was searching for something in English and Google keep redirecting me to my country's edition (and thus searching on webpages from my country/with my language).


When I was overseas, I just used google.us, which redirects to google.com, since I only searched in English, I didn't speak the language of the country I was living in.


It doesn't work when logged in to google services. (I think it's been 2 years or something since it doesn't work anymore in that case)


Thanks for that tip! I never knew about it!
