Web search: how to get US results only?

This is sooooo frustrating: every time I do a websearch through google.com, yahoo.com, etc. I get UK relevant results only. Obviously, because the search request is routed through a UK located server.

Any suggestions how I can change this to display the results in an US relevant order?

Thank you!

I'm sure I've achieved US dominant results by making sure the URL address was "www.google.com" as opposed to the UK default of ".co.uk" suffix.

Try this: http://www.google.com/webhp?rls=ig

It seems to be the US Google and gives US-dominant results more than the default UK Google home.

I sometimes use Hotspot Shield (http://anchorfree.com) to scrub my IP. Even using google.co.uk, I wasn't getting the American-style kosher dill pickle recipes I wanted!

Alta-Vista has a U.S. results option - www.altavista.com

It's almost impossible to guarantee complete success though, seeing as British-run websites can be hosted on U.S. servers, and vice versa.

Thanks everyone!
