No one really
knows much of anything about Google and I wouldn't trust anyone who tells you otherwise.
That disclaimer being made, I
believe that Google uses the
domain name of the server.
Google really can't use the IP address of the server, because:
- 1. Many foreign servers (including .co.uk!) are hosted in the U.S.
2. IP addresses are not neatly tied to geography. One network range could span several continents.
I do not believe it would make sense for Google to use the IP address or domain name of the searcher. In addition, the fact that I can get to
google.es from Colorado makes that scenario seem unlikely.
