For non-English speakers, this hint allows you to change the country that Google uses when searching from Safari. Whenever you enter a search into the Google search field in Safari, the search is made on the US Google. But if you want to search on your country's Google, such as, in this example, Switzerland, you can create a bookmark such as the following:
javascript:url=new String(self.location); replaceString ='.com'; regExp =/\.com/gi; newURL =url.replace(regExp,'.ch'); self.location=newURL+'&hl=de&meta=cr%3DcountryCH';Mac OS X Hints
