    same here in canada (they try to redirect you to google.ca if your ip is identified as canadian) ... google just tries to do ip targeting and redirect traffic to the specific google site for that country .. but when it happens, and you don't want it to happen again, simply click the link that says "Go to Google.Com" .. it should then remember that preference

    THanks, sandor. I hope this isn't the start of google taking some of microsoft's bad traits.

    It doesn't take away from the functionality plus it allows them to collect better info and provide better search results so I don't see a problem with it. If, however, they start filtering search results based on where I am, then that's a different picture.

    Actually, using google.com.jm should provide better results when searching for stuff relating to "Jamaica" than standard google. Try it for yourself and you'll notice the difference.

    I never notice a difference from google.com and google.com.jm. I did a search on dancehall, and riddims and they both turned up the same results.

    When I did a search on dancehall, google.com returned 1.5 million results, google.com.jm returned 660,000.

    Is that good or bad? Where did the 840,000 other results turn to.
