My employer puts all internet traffic out through the US, so I get google searches from an American location. I want to use google.ca and get appropriate results. When I try to select a new search provider in IE8 by selecting Canada (English) the google provider offered is still google.com.

Does google own the privilege to change the search provider on iegallery.com at http://www.iegallery.com/en-ca/addons or do I have to convince microsoft of the error of their ways?

 

Is there a viable way, other than through the IE gallery, to change my search provider?
