Hi, I'm in Poland but I'm connecting to the Internet using proxy located in Sweden Languages and locale is set to PL Now: when I use google searchbox using search engine it automatically moves query to google.se What can I do to force it to use google.pl ? I tried Locale switcher extension but didn't help

Chosen solution

You would have to install the Google.pl search engine to prevent Google (Google.com) from switching to the locale that they detect via the IP.

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