when I type words into the http box I get Yahoo in German, and I want Google in English. How do I change that? (my IP address is in Germany)
I am on the run from Chrome, and have just installed Windows 7 (64bit version). I have the Google search box (top right) as well as the Navigation toolbar - if I type some words into the Nav Toolbar the options are given to me in Yahoo Germany, and I can find no way of changing that at all. I don't use Yahoo, and I want to go to a UK or a US site. No add-ons are enabled. The PC is in Germany (and therefore has a German IP address)

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
- Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
- Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Some sites automatically redirect you to a site in the local language, based on where your IP locates you.
