Google annoys me, as I can't see a way to choose permanent UK only searches by default:it will always revert to search all. Now the option in tools is gone too, replaced by a verbatim option. What ever that means in a browser, I can't imagine!
Why the dickens have they done that, and what benefit do we get from the change? I'm wondering if it may be time to choose a new search medium, assuming there is one as comprehensive.
