If you want the google site to block more sites, then you will need to go onto the google site. Then go onto preferences. There you can change alot .For example the language it should search for only, or if the result window should be seperate, or how many results should be displayed per site.
This window to change preferences is very useful!
Have fun!

I didn't think we needed to know this and if you want better search results you shouldn't block anything, cause non-english sites could have the thing your looking for.

default country on google searches
Google- Changing The Search Preferences!

When ever I perform a google search the results are all UK results. I live in Wheatfield, NY, USA. This is just outside of Niagara Falls, NY USA. The UK based results are not particularly useful. I've searched and searched to find a way to change the default country to no avail. I am currently running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and use Firefox 3.0. Any direction on how to remedy this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What specifically are you searching for that would lead you to generate location-based results?
I live in Pennsylvania, and unless I search for something and type in a specific location after it, it comes up with results from anywhere in the world.
One thing I'd recommend trying is registering for a google account (if you haven't done so already). It's free, and you don't need to change your email address or anything, but I believe when you sign up it asks for your location, which is where you could imput the correct one. If you already have an account, I'd recommend first checking that you have your location set correctly, and then, if it is, sign out of your account and try searching when you're not logged in. If these ideas don't work, it might be something funny with your IP address, or a completely different issue.

    Google must have some monster servers like astahost does. After some research i found this:
    Google's server infrastructure is divided in several types, each for a different purpose. Google
    DNS Servers answer the DNS requests and serve as intelligent, worldwide load-balancers. They guess
    the data center nearest to the user to speed up all HTTP requests. Google Web Servers coordinate....
