How do results from the web and pages from the UK differ?

As we all know Pages from the UK are served based on being a UK domain or being hosted in the UK

Pages from the web however in my opinion are being filtered based on analysis of the page or site.

My guess would be it is something to do with backlinks. i.e. a large number or percentage of links from UK sites = possible interest to UK surfers.

I have one .com site hosted in the US which, for our main keyword, was about 50th in the web SERPs and not in the pages from the UK SERPs at all. The same site is still not in the UK SERPs but has jumped up to 20th in the web SERPs.
