You could have put a minus sign before the Finnish word; a minus sign before a word excludes this word from the results.

Tailoring Google search queries feels so much like writing Regular Expressions.
Just to demonstrate the effect to myself I took a VPN connnection to France and voilà, very useful hits.
That's the geographic dimension of the search bubble. I am sure there are more.
(I never use Google search when I am logged in to Google and I delete my cookies at least daily. So things should be pretty neutral for me. Someone might say, hah, your fault. If you hadn't subverted their profiling you'd get better results. I doubt that, I had not heard about that French city before and I certainly search more Finnish pages than French ones.)
