Google….why dont you care about Australia?

Posted on Saturday 29 October 2005

I really quite like the Google personalised search but i dont understand why they havent done a few small things to tailor it for Australians. Its out of Beta as far as i know but not finished. The main thing im missing is my “pages from Australia” button. Does anyone know of a way to get this on the personalised search?

    Thanks kako. I guess im just a little too lazy to do that. Its ok now however, since i wrote that piece google switched on the Australian personalised search at www.google.com.au/ig so that you can have the ‘from australia only’ radio button on.
    I should have written that in this article - http://phuba.com/2005/11/little-bit-of-aussie-loving-from.html but forgot.
