Possible too simple a question for Technology but its driving me to distraction. Years ago there was an option to choose to search in the country of origin ie 'UK only' or 'Worldwide' to limit results. Now its changed and I can't find how to limit my results to the UK. I am looking for info pertinent to the UK and am getting results from all over the World, even when I put in for example 'UK buying house with land' I'm getting results from Spain and Australia. Any suggestions warmly received. Thank You.

When you get the google homepage, on the bottom right hand side, click on "settings". then on "advanced search". From there, choose the option "narrow your results by region", and choose United Kingdom. See if that helps. Here is a link for you. http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search?hl=en-GB

If on Firefox then Search tools, the web, pages from UK
Pages from a particular country: To see search results from a particular country, click on Search tools then The web. From here, you can select a country in your local Google domain to see results from.

paulan90 and THE CORBYLOON , thank you for such speedy replies, this is going to save me so much time.
You can use the search operator:

loc:placename

i.e. loc:cambridge

To get more local results
Isn't there a setting in the advanced search settings page ?
