Google Search reverting to web?

[I, Brian]

I've noticed at present when I search on Google, even after selecting "Pages from the UK", after that initial search it reverts back to "the web".

Very annoying and very user-unfriendly. Also finding it hanging repeatedly, especially in IE 10.

Anyone else see this when not signed in? Another push by Google to minise the results from the UK?

confirmed, just tried.

google is getting more frustrating to use, im having to put quotes around most searches and use their 'verbatim' option.

I hate the way they bounce you around, most of the time, I god damn well know what I am looking for!

Agree, using G has gotten very annoying. I hate having to use quotes to force a term, and they often change terms to what they think you should be searching.

Drives me to Bing quite often.
