Go to http://google.com/ncr and that will fix things to be permanently for google.com. Sometimes it forgets, so just type it in again. 2. Go to a US-specific datacenter by browsing directly to the IP address. Not sure how you'd find that out... Pierre Two ways:

It's not quite the same as actually searching from that country but it's a better approximation (and easy). It also has a feature however to allow you to enter an IP address to search from, I haven't tested this extensively but I suspect this might do what you need.
