<added> Still doing some fine tuning I suppose. Saw changes in interface (Bangla and other languages were initially shown on the home page) and sometimes using geolocation. </added>
results are not showing any geolocation
With the current state of constant flux I am not so sure but seeing a little difference in some of the Queries. Also yesterday night when it was first launched you could go to google.com by typing it directly in the browser window. Not so anymore as it redirects you to google.co.in . So have to use Google Toolbar 2.0 now for US centric Queries. :(
They also seems to be having some local language bits on homepage, which loads as greek and latin to me on my system. May be i need to install some plugins for my browser to view the homepage correctly?
Anyway, i do have toolbar and i hope, they don't give redirections in the toolbar also! :)
Are they opening any office in India?... plan to shoot my Resume to them! :)
Cheers
But why is showing? on Google India. Any ideas?
I think ideavirus is right. It may be because of the language.

If you click the link on the bottom to go to google.com, it will remember that preference and then onwards go to google.com always.
And now thats true. I just checked it and no probs anyway.
Cheers
GoogleGuy, Please allow us to access the main English site of Google. Atleast we should have a choice about which version of the site to visit, the .com or .co.in.

If you have the Google toolbar 2.0 Beta installed then you can select the Regional google in which to run your query. Select the International version and you should be OK.

Yes the thread was started at 1.15 am IST yesterday night and after 8 mins was cleared by premoderation. :)
I see lot of Hindi stuff at Google.co.in

You can always select Bangla , Telugu, Marathi and good old Angrezi.
I figure it out that way!
If you host on US servers and your domain is not .co.in, I am afraid you will be considered non-Indian.

Is this really true? :(

Atleast, this way people would be able to learn Hindi words(displayed in English). Though most of the people in India understand and speak English well, some don't. So, if foreigners are on a tour to India, they would be able to explain things in Hindi. Now Hindi would become an International Language.
They just have to open google.co.in to learn Hindi. I just hope they display the meaning in English too in future.
achchha hai. (It feels good). Isn't it?
Ha-Ha

yes, "Searched the web for widget" becomes
"Web mein widget ke liye khoja"
hehe
<meta name="Country" content="INDIA">
and if the pages contain the word india? if not then many many sites may not be considered which is wrong.
We have lots of visitors from India, so we're really happy to have the domain for them and to offer Google News in India.
As always, if you're redirected to google.co.in but you really want to go to google.com, there should be a link at the bottom right that you can click. That will set a cookie that says "don't send me to google.co.in; always send me to google.com."
help me

(wish there were a way to redirect followups a la newsgroups)
As always...
GoogleGuy, it was not "always so"... remember: [webmasterworld.com...]
Let's not rewrite history.
