Default Search Engine 'Fun'.

In looking at David's "Auction(s) of the Week", I thought I'd check
Yaboo for any Penny Reds or other UK material I'm hunting.

Unfortunately (as do many US dealers) they confuse the Commonwealth
with Great Britain and lump them all as 'one'.

"Can I help you?"
"I'm looking for Great Britain"
"Oh, yes, I have some very nice Canada!"

To separate out ... I tried a simple search.

They responded; with; " No Search Results found for GB or Britain in
British Commonwealth".
