Google Search & Maps; results regardless of domains

Google announced yesterday a change that affects users of Google's Maps and Search services.

The change affects users of the search service on mobile and desktop computers and everyone who has στους Χάρτες της εταιρείας. Πως; Συλλέγει τα τοπικά αποτελέσματα των χρηστών ανεξάρτητα από το that they use.Google

What does this mean;

Google used the content it collected from your searches and used them to add and display them in a specific country, e.g. if one from Greece, was searching through the google.gr domain. The same thing happened in the company's map service (Google Maps). So until now, top level domains are reported to determine what results the service would look for and would be taken by users.

This process has been changed by Google. So from today users of specific Google services will get local results, regardless of the domain they use, or the of Google that open.

Therefore, the Greeks who open google.com will receive Greek results in searches that they do independently. The same applies even if you open the site by using the Browsing Incognito feature or selecting google.com / ncr.

Google reports the country service you use at the bottom of the page. The company has removed the transition to another country service from the search results page and has moved it to the settings.

So to change Google Search to another location:

Open the Google search domain you want to use, e.g. google.com.
Choose Settings - Search Settings at the bottom of the page.
At the bottom of the page that opened you will see the option "current area" in the area from which you want to receive the results.
Then click the save button.

The same procedure can be followed for Google Maps. The main difference is that you must click on the menu icon when you are on the Google Maps site and select Search settings. Everything else is the same.

Why did Google make this change? According to the company to “ensure more relevant results with your location” and for “more compatibility with the way Google already manages” its services on other platforms such as YouTube or Blogger.
