and use Google instead.

We've tried this and it looks useful. Have you found a way to make it
search the web UK only?


On the Google toolbar you should see the Google name/logo with a small
black
triangle to the right of it. Click on this and a drop down menu appears.
Go
to "Options" and choose google.co.uk from the drop down menu.

Despite having done this Google still searches world-wide though it does
present an option at the top of the results to repeat the search with
pages from the UK.

Strange! Sorry to mislead anyone but I always assumed that it would then
search google.co.uk by default. I'm not certain but what it seems to do then
is to set your preferred country to the UK. It appears that if you click on
"search web" it searches google.com but gives the results on a page with the
option to just search google.co.uk, exactly as you say.

However if you click on the dropdown alongside "search web" there is an
option that says "search couintry". Choosing this, I think, means that it
searches only google.co.uk.
