Google offers users local search results. If you open Google.com, you’re automatically redirected to the Google domain for your country. The results you see are adjusted accordingly i.e. to suit your country’s specific search trends. If you changed the Google domain i.e. forced your browser to use Google.com, you could get results from the US. Google is changing this. Now, even if you use Google.com, you will still get local search results. Here’s how to force Google search results from the US.
The good news however is that you no longer have to bother with domains. There’s a simple way to force Google search results from the US, or from any other country that you prefer to get results from and it’s been around for ages.
Force Google Search Results From The US
Visit your local Google domain. At the bottom of the search page you will see an option ‘Settings’. Click it. From the menu that pops up, select ‘Advanced search’.
On the Advanced Search settings page, scroll down and look for Region. Open the dropdown and select the region you want to get results for. In this case, select United States and click Advanced Search at the very bottom of the page.
Limitation
This method works but the region is reset every single time you visit Google. It doesn’t even matter if you’re signed in. Google will not remember which region’s search results you prefer. This means for every single search you conduct, you will have to set the region again. Additionally, the address bar in your browser will, by default, always show you regional results.
Alternative Options – VPN
The above method makes Googling a long, complicated process if you want to get results from the US. If you want a simpler way to do it, i.e. one that doesn’t force you to do anything, consider using a VPN. We recommend using ExpressVPN and NordVPN.
