| Re: OMG how to access google.com ????????? | tzofeolam | 6/16/12 6:39 AM | bluequoll, it's not browser related. I experience the same problem with Firefox 13 and with my antique IE6. I guess it's broken in all browsers. |

| Re: OMG how to access google.com ????????? | tzofeolam | 6/16/12 8:04 AM | Cool. Go take a cookie from a shelf. And give me another one for finding http://www.google.com/?hl=en Unfortunately that's not a good solution to the problem. Google just sucks. |

| Re: OMG how to access google.com ????????? | Thomas P. | 6/16/12 1:55 PM | Google is currently having issues with Language & Location for the http://google.com domain. I too have recently had same issue (again), and managed to fix it as indicated in the post: http://productforums.google.com/d/msg/websearch/yU6_CQXr07M/mgzVYMnVGGMJ |
| Re: OMG how to access google.com ????????? | bluequoll | 6/16/12 3:49 PM | Thanks, tzofeolam. I've been trying to reproduce this, but couldn't on any of the browsers or OSs I use. I'm not located in the US, but I haven't had any instance of http://google.com redirecting to my local Google domain. And if I do go to my local Google |
| Re: OMG how to access google.com ????????? | tzofeolam | 6/16/12 5:05 PM | bluequoll, The link to Google.com isn't missed. It just doesn't work. I can go to the http://www.google.com by neither that link nor manually typed URL. |
| Re: OMG how to access google.com ????????? | bluequoll | 6/16/12 5:12 PM | This issue has been escalated to Google but, in the meantime, have you tried the alternative URL http://google.com/ncr suggested in the help article. It's claimed that this avoids the redirection. |
| Re: OMG how to access google.com ????????? | tzofeolam | 6/16/12 5:18 PM | Thomas, When I save my language setting on the https://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en page, that you've suggested in your message in the other forum, it tries to redirect to http://www.google.com:443/forum/ that is unreachable. Yet another Google |

| Re: OMG how to access google.com ????????? | tzofeolam | 6/17/12 7:33 AM | The Google.com problem seems to be fixed now. But it still erases the search text after switching to the News section. This is another bug that's not fixed for a long time. Looks like googlers have switched from vodka back to beer. It's surely better |
| Re: OMG how to access google.com ????????? | Irina Wylder | 6/17/12 7:42 AM | DUDE! I LOVE YOU. The url http://google.com/ncr fixed my issue! Oh my god. :D |
| Re: OMG how to access google.com ????????? | tzofeolam | 6/17/12 7:50 AM | No, it's still not fixed. I was too optimistic :-( Googlers probably mix vodka and beer. OMG! It was very popular at the USSR time. As you all know USSR had collapsed. Will Google collapse too? If googlers continue to dring alcohol at work it's poss |
| Re: OMG how to access google.com ????????? | tzofeolam | 6/17/12 7:54 AM | Irina, It's only a workaround. Keep your love to the real solution. I'm still full of hope that there are a few real programmers in Google. They probably at a vacation now. |
