Google Opens Canadian Version

Google announces its Google.ca, a Canadian version of the Google search engine. About the only difference on the front page is an option to limit to Canadian Web pages. Surprisingly, the limit is not a simple .ca top level domain filter. A search on vancouver restaurants found several .com hits, although it still missed the top hit on the worldwide Google of www.vancouver-bc.com/Dining/ which seems like it should have also been included. A French language version is available at www.google.ca/fr which adds an option for searching only French language pages to the top page.
