As per the title - I've set up google.co.uk to be my default search engine in
the search assistant, but it keeps reverting to google.com

I've tried both leaving google.com as another option and deleting it, but
either way the problem still persists.

Any help would be very welcome.

Cheers,
Owen.

1. Delete all google.com cookies.

2. One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).

Hi, I recently downloaded Internet Explorer 8 and had a similar problem. Like you, I wanted google.co.uk not .com but when I went to the 'Find More Providers' page taking me to IE8 add-ons, all I could get was google.com so I did a search on google and found this Add Search Providers to Internet Explorer
I initially had to click on 'See Global Search Guides' to choose UK/English, then clicked on the Google logo and it worked...

I found this forum while searching so thought I'd join seeing as the question was similar to mine.
