How to Prevent Google.com from Redirecting to Local Google Homepage



Google LogoBy default Google redirects all search request and direct Google.com access to your local (country-specific) Google homepage; for my case, it is Google Malaysia (Google.com.my).

Google Web Search is customized for a number of countries and regions across the world. For example, Google.fr provides search results that are most relevant for users in France; Google.co.jp is the Google domain for Japan. We try to direct users to the site that will give them the most relevant results.

Sometimes you don’t want this. The reason is because your search will be more relevant if using Google.com rather than your local Google search.

The Trick…

So, the solution is simple, instead of going to Google.com bookmark these two URLs:

  1. http://www.google.com/ncr
  2. http://www.google.com/webhp

Both of these two links will send you directly to Google.com without redirecting to country-specific Google homepage.
