You can get additional Google search engines here including a 'No nountry redirect' version on the Mycroft Project website.

Local Google sites have a link at the bottom of the page to go to the "Google.com in English" site.
You may need to hover that local Google page with the mouse to make extra content appear.
You can set Google preferences on the Google Search settings page (click the gear icon at the top right).
