Same Google Server IP, providing different results

[buguela]

Hi everyone,

I was conducting some queries and I was comparing it with a fried that lives in another city. So, we have different IPs, different browsers and no personalized results active..

So, the first thing that I thought is that I was hitting one Google server and him another one. This was the first clue. But after doing a ping command, got each Google server IP and conducted a query by IP (not by "google.com") I still receiving different results from my friend.

It's like, we are trying to hit the same Google server but it is providing different results...

Does anyone knows if this really exists?

Would the search term go under some kind of "local search" criteria and hence be influenced by different cities you live?

Have both you and your friend cleared your cache prior to search?

Yep.. that's why I asked about cache being cleared prior to search.
