how to turn off googles geo targeting in search results?
 
I've tried to google it but all i get was being recommended to install millions of must have plugins.

basically i want in my search bar always google.com, no other countries and specially not google.pl which i don't give a fuck but i'm here now (poland) and fucking google always changes my google.com to google.fucking.pl, i'm using firefox.

please tell me if i can change it somehow?

why don't you try No Country Redirect?
Google.com/ncr

you mean to add this one to search "/?gws_rd=ssl"?
i can add it somewhere in firefox so google would display .com only?

Yes i had same problem,i resolved it by switching first to bing,and then to dogpile which shows google and yahoo results.And when i need to check for positions on google,then i simple type google.com/ncr .Would be better if i could do that over toolbar but it's no biggie.Another alternative would be,to use US vpn/proxy (try hola for that).

Type about:config in your Firefox address bar and search for keyword.URL Double click on the value and change it to https://google.com/search?nfpr=1&filter=0&num=100&q= Click OK and close the about:config tab.

Default searches will go to Google.com. Just type the keywords into the address bar and hit enter.

keyword.enable is the only "k" in whole list.

I fucking hate that local search results shit. I don't give a fuck about local stuff, I already live here and know were to get what I want.

They are doing the same with youtube, when I go to youtube I get redirected to a local version, were local artist and channels are pushed to the top.

That's fine and shit but give me an option to fucking disable it.

Yeah, no shit. People in bumfuck town don't want local results.
They are trying to find a way out of the fucking place.

keyword.enable should be set to true

Right click anywhere in the list and select New > String

Preference name = keyword.URL
String = https://google.com/search?nfpr=1&filter=0&num=100&q=

If others share your view, you should seize this opportunity to provide interesting Croatian entertainment.
