This post describes you Google search tools which you can use to customize the Google search to get the best search results for what ever you search on Google.

Few days ago, one of my friends ask me – why Google displays local search results when ever we search on it. His means to said was, why we couldn’t get global search results? Answer is simple, Google shows the default search results that best suites to you based on your current location by redirecting you to country specific domain. Also, you have an identity (IP address), every time you connect to internet and default Google search results are also shown to you based on this identity.

So, if you want to get the search results of your own preference then you have to use the Google search tools to get your preferred search results.

 

Global or Local Search Results

Using search tools you can easily get global or local search results. To get the global search results, you can do this in two ways, you can directly enter the global (www.google.com) URL in the address bar of your browser, (but it’s not as easy, because you’ll be redirected to local domain) or use Google search tools. I recommend you to use Google search tools to get the global or local search results as shown in the above image.
