I don't know why google have decided to removed the New Zealand only search feature from the google.co.nz search, but I find it quite frustrating as it mixes international pages when I am only wanting NZ content.

However - thank god the firefox version is still working for those who don't like the new interface.

I agree, I prefer the old format and the NZ only search button.

Agreed, I do not see how people can be upset at one extra click.

Have a look at this if you do not like the new look, http://www.gtricks.com/google-tricks/how-to-get-old-google-interface-or-layout-back/
