I got used to the damn US spellchecker, but after some automatic recent update the default search engine changed too to google.com :(.

Is it possible to change it to google.co.uk?

Changing the spellchecker would be good too, but less important.

    Click the magnifying glass in the search box - Drop down box click 'Change Search settings' - Change your default search in the Drop down box to Google UK if it's there.......If it isn't Click on 'add more search engines' at the bottom and find GUK and download it ...
    Why are you using a US spell checker? Get a British Dictionary Add-on.
    If you right click in the Quick reply box on here you will see 'Languages' in the context menu, If it has 'English United Kingdom' there just select it. Otherwise download from Add-Ons.
