Ever do a search on google.com and have it filled with uk or canadian sites?  It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it is really annoying to me.  I don’t want to buy from those websites because it normally means longer shipping times and higher delivery fees.  I want to find suppliers that are close to me (or ones that provide free overnight shipping).

Other countries easily customize their searches to either search the full index or just their country specific tld.  But America has trouble with this feature since .com tld has become so popular for websites around the world.  Search engines can’t really use that as a helpful tool.  And .us tld is not any better since it is not widely used and it is a popular choice for spammers.

Ugh!!!!
