Does the Search Algorithm vary considerably locally?

Hey,

i am from india and I just noticed that most of our searches are extremely different to those from the gooogle.com searches.

Not some searches. I mean entire layouts. For instance, there were no google places in the search results in India. There was hardly any integration with the G+ for a long time after it launched, even though a large population on G+ was Indian.

I got thinking on these lines. Any pointers?

Hi Rahul,

• Google Places results normally comes in search when your search term has location name.

• If the author has implemented author profile with website then only you will see Google author image in search results.

• Its obvious you will see different result in Google.com and Google.co.in

May I know the search term you have searched and from which location ?
