Google.co.uk Chrome Users Sent To Google.com?

Google UKLast week I saw a story about Google redirecting UK Chrome users on their searches to Google.com versus Google.co.uk. I asked Google about it and they basically redirected me to the report IP problems form.

But it does not seem to be isolated to a few people, like I often see come up in the forums from time to time.

Also @patrickaltoft, @andrewakesson and others are complaining.

John Mueller from Google asked them to send him their IP addresses, so he can debug it.

It is weird so many users are reporting this issue.

Redirecting Chrome users in the UK from Google.co.uk search results to Google.com search results can impact the searcher and web site owners.

If you have this issue, make sure to use this form so Google can fix the issue.
