No choice for Australia results in Google
I have just noticed that when doing a search in Google (IE8 with Win7) that the choice to restrict returns to Australia has gone. Is this my system only or have Google made a change.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

you can always just enter "site:au" to the end of your search and it will limit to Aus.

I believe Google is stopping servicing ie8.

since google is ebay , ebay no longer lets you search with "*" wildcard ,
that is just a pain , instead of 300 to sort through now i have 30,000 , you cant search coin's by country and century anymore

To restrict the search to Austraila you need to click the "Search Tools" button next to the "More" drop down box (it took me a while to figure this out after the change as well).

I use "Google Advanced Search" as my home page. You can select the Region on it.

Tried to respond to some of the suggestions at 9:00pm Saturday night and was informed that the server was too busy - try again later. Don't forum members have a life.
Cliff I am using google.com.au
The thot plickens - Sparhawk, I don't have a "search tools" choice next to the "More" button. There is "Calendar" on one side and nothing on the other.
It was just so easy when the list on the left hand side of the screen gave you the choice of "web" or "Australia"
Groggy, still have to try out the "site:au" suggestion.Bob

FOUND IT!!!!
When the search results are returned a new horisontal set of menu choices are provided just under the search criteria box. As Sparhawk said, this is where the "search tools" choice appears. By clicking on this another horizintal menu appears with the left most choice being "The web". Click on this and a dropdown box allows youto select "pages from Australia"
So there you go
