New issue 6343 by charleswilesuk: Configuring search for UK http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6343 It is awkward changing the search provider from www.google.com to www.google.co.uk. In fact, if I set my home page to www.google.co.uk ages ago, but I didn't realise I was still getting US results when searching from the browser chrome until shopping results came up with prices in $. Suggestion 1: If the user sets their home page to www.google.xx, automatically ask it they want to change their search engine to www.google.xx too. Also, if I search for Chrome from www.google.co.uk in say Firefox, I get pointed at www.google.com/chrome. If I explicitly select UK sites only for the search then I get www.google.co.uk/chrome. I downloaded Chrome from .com, but would I have got a UK configuration if I had downloaded from co.uk? Suggestion 2: Make sure that users get a correct local configuration for home page and search provider. Either point the user to a preconfigured local download or detect the local settings from user's computer or ask the user to select their local settings in an initial set up stage. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
