Came here to second that. I live in Austria. Google pretends that all I am interesteed in has to be in the German language, somewhere nearby where I live and all sort of assumptions. Recently the Internet has become a small world for me.
Going to google.com helps somewhat

http://www.google.com/ncr (no country redirect). Gets saved in a cookie. No more local search.
That's in case you get redirected to google.at or the like.

Thanks for this. I used to visit Canada a lot and if I ever used my laptop up there I'd have to contend with all my default search settings being switched to google.ca for a while.

doesn't help with google not providing relevant search results anymore, and usually half the first page of results isn't even for the keywords I searched.
it used to be 10 pages of relevant results.

Filter bubble.
Use DDG: http://dontbubble.us/
Now they believe that because I live in Spain I have to speak Spanish, or be interested first in Spanish stupid things, or be only interested on the topics I searched in the past.
Now while using gmail I search with Bing, so it does not mess anything.
