I've just noticed that Google UK appears to be reverting to pages from the global index from the second page of SERPs on. For example, do this search [google.co.uk] and click "next". Now look at the radio button.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Yes I can see this too, don't know how long it's been like it though, if you go to page 2 and then replace the meta url variable with:

&meta=cr%3DcountryUK%7CcountryGB

you do indeed get the correct page 2 for uk only.

This is the first time I've ever seen the Google search interface broken. And it's not just UK, it seems to be happening on every regional version of Yahoo (I've checked .fr, .de, .ca, .co.in). GoogleGuy, you might want to alert the techies...

Yup, we got a couple reports. It should be fixed later tonight (or at least very soon), after we finish the wet noodle slinging at the person who did it. ;)
