Google Search: "the web" and "pages from"

[ajapale]

I have my home page set to Google Search.

There are two radio buttons "the web" and "pages from Ireland".

Is there a way to add radio buttons for "pages from the UK", "pages from the US", "pages from the South Africa" etc?

switch between "google.co.uk", "google.ie", "google.com" "google.fr", etc. and the radio buttons change.

There may be another way though...

There are a few Firefox plugins that can make it a bit easier like this one:

Thanks Mac and Blacknight!

This is exactly what I was looking for.

The redfly plugin is not immediately intuitative. You first do your search and then right click to do your country specific search.

What you have to do is that when you do your search, simply right click anywhere on the search results page and select “Search Google Global” and select the country of your preference from where you want the search results from. It is as simple as that.

Yes. That's the way it works.

or simply type .co.uk or .au in along with your search.

This may still return results from domains outside those desired. The correct way to do this would be to include "site:" before the top level domain for example to search for .co.uk plumbing sites, you would use "plumbing site:.co.uk". Getting into the habit of adding this to your search string would probably be quicker than figuring out which button to press!
