Compare Google Results From Different Countries. This is a valuable and much needed new tool. This site lets you run one query simultaneously against two different Google locations. What is more, it also lets you choose between two different Google datacenters. For example, if you select "www.google.com" as a datacenter, the query could go to a number of different access points. It is probably better to pick a specific Google datacenter. The site also lists many but not all local Google domains. If you select a local domain, the search and results' language will default to that country's language. However, if you specify a local Google domain, the tool may use any existing datacenter.
It is not really as hard to use this tool as I've made it sound. You can easily play around with this tool and see what works for you. Here's an example of a search for a Spanish term in the US using the generic "www.google.com" and the local Google and datacenter for Spain. The results are quite different.
