Google’s patent on changing rankings
When working with Google, you might have noted that it is possible to use Google as a country specific browser rather than a global one. When the searchers perform searching from different countries, for the same query word, the results displayed to the users will be different.
A recent patent granted to Google shows that search engine tries to associate web pages from various country locations with the queries made from those areas. The method will effectively bias the information in a way that results will be based upon the preferred country location of the searcher.
The preferred country in this context could be the country in which the searcher resides or a country which he is interested in or acceptable for him. Google has always tried to follow this and they have been using latest techniques and methods to develop their theory of working with this patent.
Google uses a search biaser tool which will help the search engine in determining the areas which are of interest to the searcher. The location of the searcher based up on the country location ie. IP address will be used for the working of this tool. The use of log files obtained from the Google toolbar will also help the search engine in displaying information through this country preference method.

using different Google data center will also give us a different result.
So basicly if you move to another country and try a search a on google from their. Then you might get less relevant results?
