Susco Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 When I enter a search in google, majority of the results are in Thai, which I get p**sed about. My location is set to US. Language in Google is set to English. Location is set to " do not allow location", and remember my choice, yet when I refresh the page it shows my location again at the bottom of the page. How to get rid of this nuisance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavideol Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 do you use a vpn ? I do and none of that happen but if I don't it all comes back up and have same settings as you. The internet doesn't appear to care about our settings, it only cares about the IP location, your IP without vpn (assuming) being in Thailand thus all search reverts to Thai, it's a pixx off situation but that's what I found out.... good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I set it to US and now all results are in English. This now brings up another question lol Which would be the best region to set to?

All a question of correct setting in Windows and/or browser. I use advanced search for the exact opposite: getting results in Thai/from Thailand or English/US etc. Edited September 9, 2020 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCor Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Susco, create a blank search with those advanced parameters, then bookmark it. Use the bookmark to present you with your preferred parameter google search page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
