How to force to Google.com without going to the local country / regional version

Whenever you type www.google.com on your browser address bar, it often will redirect you to the regional Google site e.g. http://www.google.com.sg/ if
you are in Singapore.

One good reason to switch to the U.S. google.com instead is to enjoy all the latest rollouts, without having to wait a few days before Google slowly pushes changes to regional sites.

To switch, simply click on the Go to Google.com link found near the right hand bottom corner of the search box.

Google Singapore

Go to Google.com is in fact going to http://www.google.com/ncr.
