Quoting "Gideon N. Guillen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Or just use your browser's search toolbar (with google as default search
engine of course). If you do this with Mozilla, you'd still use
google.com. Or if you want, you could always use
http://google.com/search?q=<search query> to do your search.
I use Mozilla Firebird so I rarely hit the Google front page, and all my IE
copies have the Google Toolbar installed (for the pop-up blocking feature). But
my main browser is Safari (for the Mac), so no problem here.
It seems that Google is, be default, making you go to the Tagalog version of the page, and not the English one (inspite of having clicked it already). Not really a problem for me, but... a number of friends of mine who are from the Visayas region are highly annoyed. Yeah, I did mention about the toolbar and all. ;)
I never too goto google manually in order to search, but what i did to all my gecko based browser is to bookmark google then modify the url of the bookmark to http://google.com/search?q=%s, then included a shortcut (e.g gg). Now whenever i want to search something i just type, gg <search words> [enter].
