After performing a search it is possible to search again for pages from the UK
It is possible with advanced search to search only UK domains.
However, I don't like it and will be using alternative search engines in future such as
http://uk.ask.com/
http://uk.yahoo.com/
http://www.bing.com/

But I'd agree it's a step backwards for Google.
Oh, and I think if you access Google (co.uk or .com) from a UK IP address then you'll get UK weighted results anyway.

I prefer to prelimit, so adapted an old version of Google's search page. Not sure how long this will continue to work. I hope Google rescinds this particular change.
Old interface (mostly):
<html><head>
