on / off button to search UK only, how do I obtain this?
My PC's version of Firefox has a button (at top of Page just above the search results) which allows me to select search UK only. Very useful! My wife laptop, running the same version of Firefox (the latest) does not have this. Going to tools and then search does not offer this option. Where do I obtain this option? Kind Regards Dave B

Hi Dave, is it possible you are searching on
while your wife is searching on
As far as I know, the built-in search engine uses .com, but Google might redirect to .uk depending on your location.
It's also possible to install a new search engine add-on that will send the query directly to the .uk site if the redirect isn't working. There are a few different sources to add on a search engine:
- Add-ons site, for example: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/googleuk/ (this one gets UK suggestions, the other three I checked get .com suggestions, if suggestions matter)
- Mycroft project: https://mycroftproject.com/google-search-plugins.html
