Google Global version 2 has been tested and is now ready for general release. V2 is a complete rewrite of version 1 as a result of all the wonderful feedback and feature requests. V2 is a lot more robust, works with more versions of Firefox and has over 20 new features! This version has some pretty advanced configuration options and is compatible with Firefox V3.
Google Global now allows you to view organic and paid Google search results as they appear in almost any location on Earth.
Whats New?
- View paid and organic search results as they appear in different cities.
- View paid and organic search results as they appear in different regions.
- Open all results from countries, cities and regions in multiple tabs for easy comparison.
- View paid and organic search results from a specific IP address.
- View paid and organic search results from any US ZIP code.
- View paid and organic search results from different language results pages.
- Custom advanced saved searches.
- Firefox V3 compatible
- Many more…
Important: V2 is completely rewritten and is NOT compatible with V1. Please uninstall V1 from the addons menu before installing V2. Please report any problems in the comments.
Usage
Google Global can be used in two ways. From the context menu or from the toolbar.
The easiest way to use Google Global is to simply do a search for something on Google. When you see you search results page, simply right click anywhere on the search results page, select “Search Google Global” and select what geographic location you would like to see the results from. It is as simple as that.
Google Global also allows you to customize your toolbar with an additional button as opposed to another memory hogging toolbar. This allows quick access to the functions of the Google Global extension. To add the button follow these simple steps:
1) Right click an empty area on your Firefox menu bar
2) Locate the Google Global icon and click and drag the icon to your toolbar. We like to drag the icon right beside the “Home” icon. (The one that looks like a little house).
3) Drop the icon wherever you see fit on the toolbar. It’s up to you.
4) Start using Google Global button to easily switch between search results from different countries.
Options:
There are a few options within Google Global that you can change depending on your personal browsing habits. You can open the search results in a new tab, useful for comparing results, you can add as many locations to your Google Global search options and you can also depersonalize the search results shown by Google Global.
I would like to express my deepest thanks to Joost, Richard, Danielle, Gary, Vittorio, and Tom for all your help with the beta testing. You have been such a huge help you have no idea.
This extension has been a labour of love and we have worked very hard on improving and testing it. One “feature” that did not make this version was the ability to download the extension from the official mozilla.org site. As anyone who has ever developed a Firefox extension before will know, the sandbox waiting time is quite long. If anyone who uses this extension finds it useful and knows what the extension sandbox is, please leave a review and hopefully the next version will be available from the official site.
If anyone has any feedback, bug reports or feature requests, please feel free to leave them in the comments below.
If you like this free Firefox extension, please help us spread the word

Looks useful given the tendency of some ISP’s to force you to use google.ie or google.co.uk or w/ever .. will investigate 2morrow.
cheers for the heads up mr D.

Thanks Niall. It’s far from perfect but I have been using it personally for a while now and thought, why not give it out free?
There are some obvious issues with regards how Google serves up listings according to actual geographic location and where the plugin states your location is.
Also, some people already logged into their Google account may think the results are off however they should note that the results are off because you are being shown personalized results when the plugin shows non-personalized results.
July 13th, 2007 at 2:37 am
Handy out, cheers for writing it. Never knew about the gl=US parameter in a search query. Saves me having to use Google from US based proxies the whole time.
July 13th, 2007 at 11:59 am
I love the idea, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work on my computer. I checked whether I was logged into google – I’m not and it still shows my Dutch google results whatever I do. I guess I’ll have to stick with scroogle for de-localized results.
July 13th, 2007 at 12:04 pm
Hi Katinka. Thanks for trying it out. Do you have the Dutch language setting enabled? What exactly is not working? You say it still shows your Dutch Google results when you do… when you do what exactly?
July 13th, 2007 at 12:27 pm
I’ve been using it a bit this morning and finding it really useful.
Only query I have is has anyone compared the results against a proxied result page for the targeted country? Have you tested this Dave? Would be nice to know if there is any further geo-targeting that would affect the results?
Rgds, and thanks
Richard
July 13th, 2007 at 12:35 pm
Thanks Richard. Yes, the proxified results can be different. It appears that the &gl=XX feature behaves slightly different than if the actual source of the query is the physical geographic location.
As already mentioned too, the de-personalized Google Global results will more than likely be different to the non-depersonalized if searching the same country. This is normal.
The benefit to the plugin is that you can check as many countries as required without having to find a proxy for each country.
July 13th, 2007 at 1:08 pm
It’s doesn’t work from certains geographicals locations like France
or I didn’t understand something !
Jean-Noël
July 13th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
Jean-Noël, France is not added by default. If we were to add all the countries in the world by default it would be a BIG list. You can add france yourself in the options.
July 13th, 2007 at 2:09 pm
Hi,
I’m checking this tool as we speak and I have a question. What is the difference in results if you are using this tool vs. going directly to google.co.uk? Is there any difference?
July 13th, 2007 at 2:16 pm
Hi Lisa, if you actually do a search on google.co.uk and use this extension you will see the difference. Google serves results differently based on your geographic location, even if you use a country specific search engine (I have no idea why). The results might sometimes not be any different in the organic SERPs but the will certainly be different than if you look at the paid listings.
It should be noted that if you are in the UK yourself and using this tool to check UK results you will not see any difference.
July 13th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
Nice one. No more gl=US for me :)
July 13th, 2007 at 2:32 pm
Thanks for info Dave!
July 13th, 2007 at 3:04 pm
Hi,
i checked this extension. Thanks for sharing this idea with us. But for me as a german which is using usualy google.de its not working properly –
http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=sonne&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=
http://www.google.com/search?hl=de&q=sonne&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=
http://www.google.com/search?q=sonne&gl=DE&pws=0
http://www.google.de/search?q=sonne&gl=DE&pws=0
i get 4 times different natural result, and also all adds are different.
The idea is great – but i guess we need some fixes.
July 13th, 2007 at 7:25 pm
Hi Dave,
Super excited about this extension, but not sure if I’m using/interpreting it correctly. I’m in the US and I am signed out of Google. I’d like to see search results for Google Australia. I type in the keyword “notebook computers” in Google US and use the extension to select AU (I’ve added AU as a country). Just to double-check, I then conduct the same search for “notebook computers” on Google.com.au (not using the extension, just going to Google Australia and typing in the keyword) — and the search results are different. Is this a misinterpretation on my part?
Thanks in advance.
July 13th, 2007 at 9:59 pm
Brilliant Dave!
Very useful and I’m sure it will become popular. You seem to be a man with many hidden talents…
I’m off to do some power searching with this tool.
Cheers!
Gavin
July 14th, 2007 at 8:42 am
Thanks for sharing, in the past I used bookmarks this is a huge improvement.
Did someone notice results from maps, video e.t.c. are missing?
July 14th, 2007 at 12:01 pm
Nice tool
I see Darren Rowse picked up on it as well!

July 14th, 2007 at 12:24 pm
This made Techmeme too
July 15th, 2007 at 1:00 pm
Tasty plugin Dave.
It’s compatible with Flock as well (a brief message appears about plugin compatibility but it works nonetheless).
July 15th, 2007 at 1:08 pm
I like it!
It would be great if you could insert a second targeting option for hl=lg too, or am I missing something?
gl=us&hl=en is different to gl=us&hl=es
Maybe two drop downs side by side?
Andy
July 15th, 2007 at 3:29 pm
Absolutely brilliant tool. Really useful :)
July 15th, 2007 at 6:48 pm
Hi Dave,
this is pretty cool.. i posted on my blog too..http://seo-kolkata.blogspot.com/
btw, i found that the ads are partially different for each of the country specific search, now is that because when we select the countries it is picking ads according to geo targeting ? But isn’t google smart enough to run geo targeting by IP address.. so even if I am using Google.co.uk using your tool from India.. what am I expected to see.. ads that are targeted at India or ads that are targeted at UK ?
July 15th, 2007 at 6:55 pm
Thats way cool plugin, I was tired of using gl=us :p ,
btw, I use gl=us to view the ads served in US, is that true for this plugin too ?
July 16th, 2007 at 11:58 am
great stuff Dave, vielen Dank ! If you are ever in Munich I’ll shout ya a beer ;)
July 17th, 2007 at 1:08 am
Great extension, thanks. It makes live a lot easier. Any chance one day there will be version where the same can be done with Yahoo and MSN?
July 17th, 2007 at 1:17 am
and forgot to say, I love the colorful icon.
July 17th, 2007 at 5:09 am
This could turn out to be a great tool for me. Two features I’m missing or have questions about are:
1. Today I use the code for US and for US state to see geo targeted state results.
Now, when I use the google Global I can only see results on the first page, if I click second page result, it goes back to my region and if I click on google global again it goes back to first page. When I use the code in the address bar I can just add this and press enter and I will see the second page.
So, my question is: can I set it so that it continues to stay on US search for second and third page results?
2. can I set it to search geo target like state:ca ?
Cheers
July 17th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
Another request for Google Australia
July 18th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
Lovely stuff Dave. I’ll be certain to mention it in my next blog post, whatever year that happens to be.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:09 am
I’ve been looking for a such tool for several months. Early I used intop20.com service, but it was only for USA Google results scanning. I’ve compared and positions were the same. Also I’ve asked a person who is in US now to look throw serp. And again – positions are the same as your plugin shows. (but they differ from positions in my country, surely). It seems to work good.
Thank you, Dave.
July 22nd, 2007 at 12:55 pm
Good tool Dave. Now, i just search the country code to add to my toolbar. I will write this tool at my blog as soon.
July 23rd, 2007 at 3:48 pm
This looks like a really useful SEO extension. Will it be uploaded to the official Mozilla Add-ons page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox . I will generally only install an extension from the Official Add-ons page because I presume it is safer.
July 28th, 2007 at 5:23 am
Wow, this is awesome. This definitely beats entering in the different URL’s for each country, thanks for sharing
July 29th, 2007 at 12:39 am
This is a great tool for any online business. I never heard about it. I will be downloading it. Being able to see search results in other other areas of the world that’s why foxfire rock! Foxfire is the best browser in my opion.
August 5th, 2007 at 8:19 am
Great tool for the best webbrowser. I host sites in Poland and it’s very important to check google position from other countries. Good work!
August 5th, 2007 at 9:30 pm
great tool–thanks!
will US states/regions be enabled soon?
August 7th, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Thanks for this useful tool. I have just finished a similar tool which lets you check your rankings for different counties – just looking for a good domain.
August 24th, 2007 at 3:34 am
Great Tool for someone like me that lives in South America but checks PPC and SEO campaigns in the USA.
Thanks!!!
Just linked to your tool!
September 1st, 2007 at 11:03 am
Looks nice… however, I would prefer to see local search results as provided by google.ie, google.co.uk, etc.. These are different from those provided by this FF extension.
September 8th, 2007 at 1:59 pm
Again a great plugin – I have been using it a lot you can tweak it to force the language. Just add a &hl=ES for spanish for example.
I wrote some details about it here ..

September 11th, 2007 at 11:22 pm
This is a great tool, but unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. When I right click and then select Google Global, the only option I get is: Totonel(H). I don’t understand what the means, but it’s obviously not working. BTW, I am in the UK and tried to uninstall and then install again. It’s still not working.
Hope somebody can help with this.
Thank you,
Athmane
September 12th, 2007 at 4:29 pm
Thanks to everyone for your feedback, we will be updating the plugin with new features and bug fixes shortly.
October 16th, 2007 at 9:46 am
Hi, love the plugin but I would prefer if it searched the actual language version of google (e.g. google.fr) when selecting a language. thanks

I am always looking for new tools and plug-ins to recommend to our students. This one will definitely go on the list. Great job!
November 12th, 2007 at 9:23 pm
This is a wonderful tool – I work crossborder and its an hassle doing a manual search each time – nice plugin – thanks
November 14th, 2007 at 11:22 pm
I didn’t see the coutry codes listed in the docs and just found them at: http://www.google.com/apis/adwords/developer/adwords_api_countries.html
Thanks for the tool!

Hi kevin, thanks for the link but you’re a little late. We are releasing the new version of the plugin on Monday with the codes built in :) The entire region and cities DB is about 2MB hence the delay in the release.
The new version has a LOT of really cool new features.
November 28th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
hello :)
I noticed your smart extension was missing a locale structure, so
I created one to be grabbed here
http://goofy37.perso.cegetel.net/extensions/google_global_locale_support-2.0.1-fx.xpi
. I suggest you should submit it to
http://www.babelzilla.org to get more locale languages for free
BabelZilla is a community of volunteer translators dedicated to the
translation of extensions for moz family apps. We have people from all
over the world currently maintaining translations for more than 450
extensions with an online translation system.
You are welcome to hop on there :)
Have a nice day

Would be cool if you could set a port for each IP in the options menu so that you could run each intl through a local proxy
November 29th, 2007 at 6:00 pm
That is brilliant linkbait Dave, and an excellent plugin. You might want to clarify at the top that this isn’t news blogging on a new Google product but your own release. I wouldn’t have downloaded if you didn’t make it clear later in the post that it was a Red Fly product.
On a related note, you are one power-Sphinner! Keep up the good ones :D
November 29th, 2007 at 7:24 pm
@Goofy, thank you SOOO much for that! That is WAY beyond the call of duty and shows you care a lot about your cause. Considering the extension is aimed at international advertisers, locales are really an overlooked essential!
@anon, thanks for the idea! I will add it to the next release roadmap.
@Gab, thanks for stopping by. Strange, the first release is at almost 10,000 downloads and this one is not even at 1000. I guess that’s my fault. Glad you like it.
regarding sphinn, I wouldn’t say “power” sphinner. Just a regular sphinner. Maki from Dosh Dosh on the other hand…
November 29th, 2007 at 9:13 pm
Hey Dave, this is an excellent add-on!
I was looking for something like this. Thanks
November 30th, 2007 at 12:20 am
Hm if I see it correctly, you do have at the moment one set of options for one ‘country’ aka you might for example for Germany add three entries: Results with search from Germany, Results with search from Germany in German, Results with search from Germany server in Germany and for the international visitor as well Search from Germany in world wide search in English.
I actually might use your plugin just to have quick access to the different versions of what I want to see – as I regulary either want complete German or complete english, but seldomly the mix Google provides …
November 30th, 2007 at 5:49 am
I’m not sure if your comment above is agreeing with me, or saying that there’s nearly 1000 already so the clarification later doesn’t matter. In any case, I’m happy for your success.
BTW, I tried to add you on Sphinn, but I think you’ve removed the button. I do think you’re a great Sphinner, so no need for the humility. As to Maki, I noticed: http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/5-bloggers-from-sphinn-and-youmoz-that-you-must-rss

Hi Dave, sorry for the delay in coming back to this – things have been really busy recently! Thanks for the link and thanks for the new tool – it’s a dream :-)
December 12th, 2007 at 1:21 am
Nice one… I wanted to create this… but don’t have the tallent you do… so hats off!
December 13th, 2007 at 10:56 pm
Great extension!
A time saver indeed for me.
December 18th, 2007 at 10:23 pm
Thanks for this, Dave!
January 8th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Thanks Dave. Email us if you want a free canvas print. I will send one out to you.
This saved me going through proxies.
January 10th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I love this product and have been an avid fan since stumbling across V1 after months of searching.
I am experiencing some glitches, however with V2’s new features. When I attempt to add and save a custome search, such as from Long Beach CA, Zip 90806, the new search appears not to be added and saved.
Is it just me having problems with more targetted searches?? I am not receving any error message that my criteria are unacceptable.
Help please.
January 14th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Same problem as Daryl above. Not saving custom searches.
LOVE the concept and can’t wait to use it.
January 16th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Wow, I didn’t even know a Firefox plugin for Adwords like this existed. Gotta love StumbleUpon :)
January 18th, 2008 at 3:39 am
Wow, this is a very useful tool. It is amazing what you can find. I am going to be keeping an eye on this blog, it seems like there is some very useful info. Keep up the good work! And is this blog design custom? I really dig it.
January 26th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Any thought to making the tool work with other search engines like Yahoo or MSN? I am addicted to using it for Google, which only makes me want it for all the places and countries I advertise with.
January 27th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
@Daryl and Kevin, I have looked into this and it is not just you guys having teh problem. ARight now, the only solution is to uninstall the extension and delete it from the prefs.js file. Not ideal but until we find a solution, that’s all that can be done.
@Diorex, glad to see it’s getting some use ;) Yahoo, Ask and MSN are a great idea. I’ll add it to the roadmap. Drop me a mail or an IM if you have any other feedback or suggestions.
January 29th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Very nice tool. Just one question. If i search in google.ie and then search with this tool i get completely different results in the SERPS.
But good tool so it is
January 30th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Anyone working in the search marketing field must have this tool installed. Great work guys – we at VKI Studios find this tool very useful.
February 5th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
This is an awesome tool – I’d recommend it to anyone. Thanks for the post on my blog too Dave!
February 6th, 2008 at 12:00 am
Does browser language setting matter? I think it does, so I can’t use this tool for global search… I get the same page results with UK, USA, AU etc.
February 22nd, 2008 at 7:45 am
Bug Report:
Sometimes after selecting another search by the right click menu the tool jumps to the proper country, but instead of putting the same search phrase it just displays a number.
I have had it display 0 and -1. Also I was not able to copy and paste in any browser tab or window anymore.
Disabling the Plugin solved the Problem for me.
I am running FireFox 2.0.0.12 on a German machine searching US-Results from Germany.
March 1st, 2008 at 1:43 am
Just what I was looking for…. thanks!
March 5th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
This is an awesome tool which I am using long time but do you have same with Yahoo!?
March 6th, 2008 at 3:53 am
Bug?
When I open the Options, I have then no way to get rid of the Options window, if not shutting down Firefox. I am using Firefox on Mac OSX.
March 9th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Is this still working? I can´t seem to get it working on a swedish install – Biodrain
March 10th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
This is an amazing tool. I have been using the adpreview tool but, since you can’t click on links, you can’t find the landing page. Thanks!
March 21st, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Thanks for this tool. I have been looking for a way to see google.de from the USA. This does the trick!
April 10th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
Great plugin. This is just what I was looking for. I would certainly recommend it.
April 11th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
As Google Qualified Adwords Professional its must need Extension for my Firefox..Great Work my Friend..Carry On..
April 28th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
I’m using Firefox 2.0.0.14.
Configuration of this add-on to include more countries was there when I first installed the add-on – but after trying to add another country even the option disappeared. Now I can only choose between USA, UK, Ireland, Canada and Australia.
Anybody got a solution ?
April 29th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
This is very useful. As an Adwords novice it is interesting to know that my PPC ads are shown in different positions for different countries.
I was at 1,3,4 and 5 for my selected countries for one particular keyword phrase which is useful information. How do I use this extra knowledge though?
May 12th, 2008 at 6:19 am
That would certainly save us from changing the gl locations in Google for various searches.
May 30th, 2008 at 9:51 am
great free tool,just came across today via enterprise discussion board,Many thanks Dave
May 30th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
This add-on was really great, as I got to quickly check on the three countries that we need to check on quickly. Great for my searches, instead of having to go to all those hoops, before. Thank you for this.
May 31st, 2008 at 3:13 am
This information will come in handy as I am launching a new website and it will most assuredly help me promote it without spending an arm and a leg on adwords.
June 2nd, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Is this company affiliated with Google? I was just checking after seeing this article, as im doing a project about Google Company and found your link at this site with Google stuff!
June 6th, 2008 at 6:36 am
Never know before today. Thnaks for writing about this.
June 9th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Good work!
June 9th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
What i love in firefox extension -easy installation.
This plugin is just amazing,
i don’t need gl=US any more
June 10th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Just downloaded and seems like a heck of an extension. I love firefox, and am often upset when websites do not work correctly within firefox.
June 11th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
Thank you for this great add-on, I now use it often for my affiliate business.
June 13th, 2008 at 12:12 am
Im trying to make money with blogging and i just find out this tool.
Thx Dave
June 13th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Great tool. Just found it from Earner’s blog… can’t believe I went a whole year without this !
June 16th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Thanks, works pretty well!
June 18th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
While the features summary states that GG is Firefox 3 compliant, I cannot get it functional with FoxV3.
Anyone else experiencing the problem?
If that is universal, when will it be complaint as I love this add-on so much that it is literally delaying my update to FoxV3.
June 18th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
This is the 3rd computer I have installed this pluggin on – its going viral I tell ya!!!
June 20th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
When I wrote the blog post I had no idea this would be part of the 30DC – congrats, you must be getting a load of traffic, and links. Well done.
June 23rd, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Viral definately. Does anyone know when it will function with FF3?
June 23rd, 2008 at 8:02 pm
It isn’t compatible with Firefox 3.0… Did anyone get this working?
June 25th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Great job. Suggest a little change from &gl=US to &gl=us. search china travel, the second SERP is different with &gl=US or &gl=us
July 2nd, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Sorry for asking again, but this plugin doesn’t seem to be compatible with Firefox 3, which really disappoints me. I love this plugin, so did anyone get it working?
July 7th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Thanks for this great tool, have it running in FireFox 2 already.
It’s easy to switch results to US but I’m not sure if the page 2 results are also from this location.
Will play around with it some more, so far i like it!
July 8th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Many thanks for this tool which has solved various problems. I am off travelling next month and will be an “on the road” seo. This tool will come in handy. Also many thanks to Dubbya for the Web Pro World track back which lead here.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Thank you so much for this, Dave. SO helpful!
July 19th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
Nice tool, I’m using it a lot. Thank you
July 20th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Brilliant. THis solves a problem Ive had for weeks where Google persisted in dorecting me to the wrong country sites. Thanks Heaps
July 22nd, 2008 at 8:33 am
Thanks Dave. Works for me!! Couldn’t get the gl=us to work anyway – I must have been doing it wrong.

Hi. I work as seo in Spain and this tool saves me a lot of work, thanks a lot.
July 30th, 2008 at 7:05 am
Thanks, RedFlyMarketing!
Works fine with FF3.
July 30th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Any way to tweak this to make it work with firefox 3?
July 30th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Never mind. I just did an uninstall of the gglobal add-on and reinstalled from this site and all it well.
August 2nd, 2008 at 5:50 pm
Many thanks for this handy tool! It has solved some of my problems and it all works fine now.
August 4th, 2008 at 3:34 am
It’s a real shame I can’t use this, because when I click the Download button, absolutely nothing happens?? There’s no transfer of anything..the progress bar on my Firefox browser doesn’t even appear to give me the indication things are happening ;(
August 4th, 2008 at 3:36 am
My Firefox browser won’t even let me download this?? Anytime I click on the Download button – nothing happens at all – no progree bar action – nothing?? ;(
August 6th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Hi Dave,
I completely forgot you wrote this cool little tool. If I can help out by adding a review to Firefox extensions let me know.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Thanks so much. Installed it by following the pre-season video and no doing great.
August 7th, 2008 at 12:43 am
I’m glad I discovered this. I think it will be real helpful.
August 20th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Very useful plug-in
Many thanks from Italy…
August 23rd, 2008 at 11:17 am
Thanks for your help with this tool.
August 23rd, 2008 at 12:10 pm
this plugin help me to check my web seo, thanks..
August 26th, 2008 at 11:26 am
wow, seems like a very useful tools for those that are marketing and doing business across states or nations. Very targeted.
September 2nd, 2008 at 2:58 am
Very useful :)
I also made a Roboform search card similar with this, so you can use it on Internet explorer. Check it out
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:22 am
Nothing happens when I click the download button. Am I doing something wrong?
September 12th, 2008 at 12:57 am
Google Global has been working fine and now since upgrade it has stopped. When I right click on any search page the only option I see is Totonel (H) and that option is not even there in my options. ???
Cheers,
September 14th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
It is really, really useful, especially for understanding targeted customer groups
September 23rd, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Hey, just wanted to thank you for this tool. I loved it for Firefox 2. However…the latest version of Firefox (3.0.1) is ‘not compatible Firefox 3.0.1′. Maybe time for a rewrite?
October 13th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
I tried adding a new location as I’d like to see how things are doing in specific US zip codes and/or states. However, the settings are not being retained. Any ideas?

October 16th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
will the next version support more than 5 drop down settings? it’s very nice, thanks.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:06 am
I agree with Dan Adwords. I just installed the Google Global and placed its icon beside ‘home.’ I’ve added some more but I couldn’t see them in the drop down. It’s amazing that there are different results in different countries when I searched for same keywords. This is a very useful tool for me. Thanks!
October 25th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
Well I just installed it and will give it a go, thanks.
November 1st, 2008 at 5:30 am
Thank you for your nice plugin..

November 14th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
This is a great plugin.
Thanks,
Erik.
November 27th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Great plugin, thanks. Now that Geo and personalized results are so important this plugin is really useful.
December 4th, 2008 at 9:50 am
Great little tool this
Perfect for us seo’s :)
December 19th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
I’ve just downloaded it and will check it out soon.
And be back here again
December 23rd, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Great extension. I installed it and am looking forward to trying it out and seeing what info I can get from it and use with clients. Thanks again.
January 13th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
This tool sounds really awesome. I have the newest version of Firefox and it didn’t work but the old version works fine.
January 20th, 2009 at 9:03 am
Neat tool; it works well on Flock.
Thanks
January 23rd, 2009 at 8:40 pm
It would be great to have also the Google sponsored links localized:
http://www.google.com/sponsoredlinks
Thank U
January 24th, 2009 at 12:38 am
Fantino, they are. :)
January 25th, 2009 at 10:51 am
I’m a fan of google products. Truly, this is fantastic. The current version is at 2.0.0.4. I hope it works well with Firefox 3
February 4th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
Wow – awesome plugin! Thanks for that. I’ve been looking for a replacement for AdwordsAnywhere which seems to have taken a long walk off a short pier, and now this is far better!
Cheers
February 4th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Google just changed the way they display there results and your great plugin has stoped working.
Please update as i realy like this plugin.
February 20th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
It´s working for me. Great tool. Just what I needed.
February 23rd, 2009 at 9:04 am
Cacel my previous post as it now appears to be working again.
Maybe google were doing something at the time as this plugin has worked for me most of the time.
Thanks once again for the great plugin
February 26th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
I have been using this uber-cool tool for over a year and it has been a god-send. I used to live in the US but moved to UK whilst still running a US based e-commerce biz – keeping on top of my organic SERP has been a breeze w/ your excellent plug-in! Do you think there is a chance you might port it over to IE7 – I know that is a sacreligious suggestion but other neccessities force me into using the M$ browser on a regular basis.
Cheers again
Marty
February 26th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Hi Marty, thanks for the feedback. We have already started working on an IE version but it’s low priority at the moment. Biggest priority with the tool right now is enabling it for Yahoo and MSN.
March 10th, 2009 at 2:43 am
Dave, what’s up with this Totonel(H) bug mentioned here? I have this too. I cant use the plugin at all. Is there a solution to this?
Thanks
Myrko
March 17th, 2009 at 11:22 am
Hello thanks sharing for the free plug in, i just have a little question does this plug-in allow you to edit out paid for search results? Or sponsored listings
March 18th, 2009 at 5:25 am
Interesting seo tool. I am curious if you are considering including other locations (like Germany, France or East Europe, China !) in this great tool. It will be helpful.
wish you all the best

Very handy tool – one of my most used FF extensions now.
Any plans for an update?
If so, how about extending the number of Google versions available in the toolbar button dropdown menu?
I’m more than maxed out. It would be great if this could be unlimited – great for those working across multiple countries.
April 14th, 2009 at 11:53 am
Its an awesome tool, hence many people do not know about it. I am trying my best too support this add-on. Because i love it. It helps me a lot to provide dedicated regional SERP’s results and helped me to show.
April 14th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Very intressting SEO tool. I am going to use it.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
Excellent,Great Tool for my use.
May 5th, 2009 at 11:49 am
This is a really useful tool great job! I had been looking for something like this for a long time and was even considering making a tool for it. Excellent jon – highly recomended product.
May 6th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
FYI, on OSX there is no way to close the options panel in FF 3.0.1
May 7th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
I’m using Google Global V2 on 2.0.0.16 Firefox and I can’t make functional new searches (only edit the existed ones). I can add new searches in Preferences but not have them shown in the Google Global toolbar menu. Adding a new search in Preferences makes also disappear the “Open all in new tabs” and “Show options…” from the Google Global toolbar button drop down menu and came back again only once the new search is deleted from Preferences.
Anybody got the same? Is these a bug or an incompatibility with one of other addons?Why we cannot add other locations?
May 17th, 2009 at 4:38 am
Nice tool but how can we add more custom searches? That seems not to work. Any new search that I add in Google Global Pref doesn’t show on up on it’s toolbar menu so can not be used. More then that “Show Option” is disappearing from the toolbar button menu. Anybody experienced the same? I’m using firefox 2.0.0.16 on a Imac. Thanks.
June 4th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Thanks for all the feedback guys. The new version should resolve all reported issues.
June 10th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Dave, this is an awesome plugin and has come at just the right time for me. Being able to search from the major UK cities without faffing about is a godsend. Thanks for all the time you guys have put into this.
June 11th, 2009 at 6:26 am
Davis this is one plug-in that am serious about. Am living in india and can see US based ads only through Google’s Ads Preview tool. But again that was a bit hectic as we can’t see the landing pages and can’t work with that data. With this plug in almost many problems were nearly solved. Waiting for, your plug-in for Yahoo and MSN. That should make this plug-in even more robust.
June 26th, 2009 at 5:33 am
This is a life saver for me. I have quit my day time job and using adwords for making money. This plugin has provided me so much of information that, i could make real good from adwords now. Thanks again for this great plugin.
One question though: Is there any chance that this plugin is updated to show other countries google also in addition to the countries listed here.
One more suggestion is that if this plugin is expanded for yahoo search also that would be wonderful for online marketing folks like me.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Great tool!
And I second this:
QUOTE: It would be great to have also the Google sponsored links localized:
http://www.google.com/sponsoredlinks UNQUOTE
June 30th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Maybe I spoke too soon.
I get different results for sponsored links every time I check a keyword. Sometimes there are 2, sometimes 6 and sometimes 0.
Any thoughts?
July 2nd, 2009 at 2:06 pm
This extension works ONLY if I search using the main Google site (google.com). It doesn’t work if I do search from local site like google.com.sg, google.com.au.
