Yes, but redirection shouldn't be a problem. The Google preferences |
12 |
are supposed to determine what language Google uses and what pages it |
13 |
searches, and these preferences are just not kept. |

It is good to have this link, together with others mentioned in this |
20 |
thread. But I need to search files in several languages, not just |
21 |
English, so I set the preferences. Then, since they are not kept, I would |
22 |
have to do it everytime I would start a search! |
