Google should be autodetecting this based on your location and locale
settings. If that's not working, then there's not really much we can do

The default version of mozilla works, its only the customized Ubuntu
version that doesn't.
This is a Ubuntu issue. Ubuntu needs to make sure its client searchs in
google work for locals other than US.

Status: Invalid = Confirmed
** Changed in: firefox
How to reproduce the issue.
From a non US location go to the url:
http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntuchannel=fsq=testie=utf-8oe=utf-8
Google will not redirect this seems to be caused by client=ubuntu
If I change client=firefox it redirect to the local google site as it
should.

We don't differ from upstream at all here other than the referral code.
If client=ubuntu is what breaks it, then that is a Google problem.
FWIW, searching with non en-US locales works fine here.

To manage notifications
Even if its a google problem its caused by Ubuntu developers changing
the client parameter therefore its a Ubuntu issue. Someone from Ubuntu
should contact google about this rather than just leaving it up to users
to fix.
If canonical is worried about the referral code they should realise
