I get really frustrated when I want to doa search to buy something on the internet as it always brings up american sites in $. The only way to get around it is to open up google.co.uk and serach from there. Is there a way that I can change the search tool inthe web address to search from google.co.uk? I would also like to change the google widget/bookmark on the desktop.
thanks

Type about:config in the browser, use the filter to narrow down on "keyword.URL", make sure the selection is highlighted in blue and hit enter. Edit the url to your liking. It works for me with co.in. The book mark can be easily saved, had stopped using the widget when it started consuming too much cpu, it might be working fine now.

Original string:
Code:
http://www.google.com/search?client=ms-nokia-maemo&channel=unibox&q=
For Google UK you should change it to:
Code:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=ms-nokia-maemo&channel=unibox&q=
