Even if this does not interest you, please can you choose an answer. If only to help me get a balanced score based on random people. (The IT bods may be interested, and will likely answer differently from those who dont find search engines or IT related stuff not at all iteresting)

If you live in the UK, do you
1) tend to use google.com
2) or google.co.uk
when searching for UK related services?

Many thanks, answers are much appreciated :)

Does that help....?

You do know that, for most people, www.google.com will redirect you to the google of the country you are in? i.e. google.co.uk

Unless you use www.google.com/ncr

all depends what I'm searching for...

If I'm searching for uk stuff, the it's .co.uk..
If I'm trying to sort something out for one of irish customers it's .ie
If I'm trying to find information about one of our suppliers I use .co.nz

And then of course there's the specialist bits for searching on local things, linux things, microslop things etc etc etc...
