Me too, specially now with all the URL rewriting, language and IP filtering they do.

As I travel around the world, I need to keep changing my search settings to find what I want.

The URL rewriting is absolute bullshit. What is the deal with that?
Not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me, my main issue is copy-paste from Google results, that now get mangled with their URL rewriting for SEO count.
Agreeing with you 100%.
Use http://www.google.com/ncr for "no country redirect". It's a life saver :)
