1454822 2018-10-22 23:27:00 If I want to search for an item on Google in another country how can I do it.

Google keeps sending me back to the NZ site.
(I used to be able to do it, but I have forgotten how)

For example our work network is proxied in Australia so I get Australian results in google, but I just add NZ to the end of a search if I want NZ results. Otherwise it uses your location information to prioritise local results.

Sorry that does not work

If I want to search for something on say Google.co.uk

If If type Google.co.uk then enter
I seem to get a google UK page.
The if it search for an item I get NZ results.

How can I stay on eg Google.co.uk

9110

On page that Opens In Region Settings, click on Show More : Select the reign, Save.

9111

Google will now show the new reign bottom left hand corner.

If you want even more control, on the first Window select Advanced Search, From Drop Down box(s) select what you want.

1454826 2018-10-23 05:05:00 And yet if I go to google.co.nz and type "Ryzen 2700X UK" (for example) I get UK results, that's what I'm saying.

Yes you can change googles regions settings back and forth, but why not use the local one and add the country code on the end.

I used to use site:UK but it didn't make any difference to just using UK.

It's all the same search engine regardless, the region just filters the results and puts local ones first
