At the bottom far right of www.google.co.nz there is a grey-coloured link to Google.com.

Or, use this link: http://www.google.com/ncr -- add it to your favorites.

I think you will find that Google.com does not give you the NZ search
option.


So its not so good to use Google.com you are in NZ not US.

Thank you. I see I can change it back if if I need New Zealand information.

Most of what I look for isn't New Zealand information. I can change it back
now if I need to.

Huh, there's only about ten things on the entire page - the link is at
the bottom right of the page (you may need to scroll down a bit (as far
as you can go)).

Just mentioning that incase you just used Ralph's link, rather than
understood his comment - which is the same as mine.

Google seem to show everything on the page including that line of links
if the window is maximised. I've never noticed the link (but them I've
not looked for it) and it is in pale grey on a white screen, which
doesn't make it noticeable!

That indeed could be exaberated on Geo's screen, which IIRC, is not in
native resolution, ever since the "computer man" upgraded the monitor to
an LCD, but did not think through the ramifications of doing so (didn't
upgrade the video card to go with it to support widescreen format).

However I have the feeling that the *order* of the results ware different.
If you are in NZ then if you search for Motels (the buildings not the group)
you get the NZ at the top of the list. Appears that is not the best of
examples.
