Update and Different data Centres

Cannot see www results

[Crush]

Typical, I am in Spain for the Update. Is There any way I can see the www results as they use different data centres here.

My office in Prague can see the results that count for us but here they are different

Thanks

Yo anyone know? Or am I stuck with the crap results from the Spainish servers and will have to rely on messages from the outside world

Can you go directly to the IP?

216.239.51.99 (is what I get if I ping www.google.com)

Or try google hyphen dance dot com - it lets you look at all 8 Data Centers.

Hi Crush

I´m in Portugal, wich is a Spain neighbour and here everything seems to be running like described on many threads. Portugal is a small country, compared to Spain, and I woudn´t be surprised if we are using the same datacenter as the Spanish.

yes but what I see on google.com is diffent from the results in the US. Even though it is google.com the results are differnt because of the location. So if I use a dance machine here it will only display what is here and not in the US..I hope you see what I mean?

The "dance machine" uses the specific data centre addresses rather than the general google.com url... e.g.

www-ex.google.com
www-sj.google.com
www-va.google.com
www-dc.google.com
www-ab.google.com
www-in.google.com
www-zu.google.com
www-cw.google.com

As far as I am aware, these won't serve up different results based on your location. I think that only happens when you try to go to the main google site.
