Doesn't work at all, no matter how I try it. Use "Search Laboratory Regional SERP Selector" instead.

Not sure why there are so many bad ratings. This one completely works for me. And I have verified it using multiple ways to detect your location. If you know what you're doing (hint: if your IP location is set with a broader region rather than with your local region), you will definitely figure this out. BRAVO, developer! I love that this is free. I really wanted to leave a review because the overall ratings do not match up with my own experience. It's good to know that others also have figured it out and left a good rating. To me this is an excellent product. This works well for my professional sports viewing habits.
