My Preferences about Google Search Preferences
After many months of being annoyed by finding non-English search results when using the big G, I now know why: Google's search preference settings default to "search all languages" instead of defaulting to "search English only."
Pardon me for being Anglo-centric, but if Google.com is English-specific, one would think that users of Google.com would get English-specific results only unless they choose otherwise, not the other way around. Of course, I have nothing against the Japanese or Italian languages, but I can't read them, so search results in those languages are pretty much useless to me and probably 90% of Google.com users.
It's a small nit to pick, but I think Google should change that default setting for users searching Google.com. Conversely, if you're using Google.jp or Google.it, I would also think you'd get results in that language by default. Am I crazy to think that?
