Are you sure you aren't being sent to the Portuguese version because |
| 11 |
Google finds your IP is in Portugual and redirects you to where it |
| 12 |
thinks you want to go? I've seen this in .de, .br and .ph, so I presume |
| 13 |
it's the same in other countries. |
| 14 |
I also don't want the national versions so I go directly to |
| 15 |
http://www.google.com/advanced_search |
| 16 |
where the redirection doesn't happen. Works fine in any browser here. |
