I'm wondering if anyone can help me out here. Safari on the iPhone is driving me crazy.



So here's the deal... I'm an American living in Paris so when I use google to search something I usually want the results in English. Every time I use the google search bar in Safari the results are always from google.fr - then I have to scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Google.com in English" link in order to get to google.com.



Does anyone know how I can make google.com the default for the search bar? I thought after doing it many times the phone would learn my preferences, but that is simply not the case.



Thanks!

    can't you go to google prefs and make changes to language?



    the other thing you can try is make a google.com entry to your bookmarks bar

    I changed the language, which helps a bit, but it still goes to google.fr, not google.com. It filters much of the content to English sites, but I still get a decent amount of French results. I guess I can live with it... I was just hoping there were a way to make the phone forget I am in France



    Thanks!
