Safari google bar

This could be pretty obvious but I can't find an option anywhere:
How do you change the google search bar within safari from google International to Google UK ? I'm sick of searching it, only to return american sites.

You can't do it in Safari preferences.

I downloaded Inquisitor and it does the job very nicely.

Safari google bar... Mmm, sounds like a tasty snack.

Sounds like a mouth full to me!

ditto, it's annoying that you can't change it or add other search engines.

Is inquisitor the only way to change this then?

Also when i use opera in windows I have got in the habit of accessing different searches depending on what you type into the address bar. eg entering 'g apple' searches for apple in google, where as entering 'w apple' searches wikipedia for it.

Is there a way to do this in safari too? or is this only available in opera.

Cheers.

Glad it's not just me that can't change it!

I think I'll just do this too.

Thanks.

Inquistor is excellent - worth checking it out
