Google UK 'From UK Only' Radio Button Gone, And So Has UK Only SERPs

[engine]

Since the UK only radio button was removed from google.co.uk the UK serps are littered with international sites. Yet, when you go to google.co.uk news, all you get is google uk news.

I want the UK only SERPs radio button option back, please. It's too much to mess about manually selecting which site is UK only and which is now. Bing and decide! ;)

Come on google, let's have some consistency!

engine - I noticed the missing button recently on other Google international sites, at least the ones I've checked, so it's not just the UK.

This is the default, then, that everyone sees? That's some kind of consistency, anyway. ;)

Thought this was old... I see complaints like this for months now.

Yes, the button went a short while back, not months. However, the SERPs quality is way down on what it was. When I say quality, i'm referring to the fact that I want uk only, not a sprinkling of International. If I want everything, i'll choose that global opttion.

It was better than this, so it's a backwared step, imho.

perhaps lack of use was the thing, Sadly, i never used it, not on bing, yahoo or google

I did a search this afternoon on the .co.uk and got nothing but US results.

The search? I needed some information from the Inland Revenue and got the IRS!

You still have the link available on the left hand menu, or at least you should.

Must admit I rarely use the UK only option, since Google can only guess by IP/cctld/WMT, with WMT being the only certainty.

Thanks. Yes, it is there, just not the old familiar radio button. Near the top, under the vertical channels, you can toggle between these two choices, one or the other an underlined link....

I wonder if Google based this change predominantly on user data, or more from an aesthetic "decluttering" mind-set.

It is, but I have to search first. I thought the plan was to make it easier for people. Google has effectively added an additional key press. It's not the end of the world, but it's a backward step, imho.

And they guess pretty well with google news.
