I tried to change value of keyword.url but I still use my country's google domain site (localized) instead of international (google.com)

so I was wondering if there's a settings file so that I could add: "hp=en" to the address of google search engine so that it will use international google

http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&hp=en&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Some sites like Google automatically redirect you to a site in the local language, based on where your IP locates you.

A possibility is to use this URL, but that won't give you the results page.

You can get additional Google search engines here including a 'No country redirect' version on the Mycroft Project website.
