When you search for www.google.co.uk or www.google.ch etc. Google has various ways one can search - the whole web, within the UK or, in the case of Switzerland, one can search for French language, German or Italian language sites only. Is there any information on the demographics of people using these features? In other words, how many people click these radial buttons and search within the country or within the language only, vs. how many people search with the default setting of "the web". Does anyone have any information on this?
