Domain Filtering
Domain Filtering automatically segregates websites from different countries into their
respective regional editions. This segregation is done on the basis of domain names. For
instance a website from Australia would generally have a domain .au. The Domain
filtering mechanism looks at the domains of all websites and creates a country specific
edition listing.
Some Search Engines also have region specific editions which contain listings from the
whole of that region. As an example: A French edition of Google may also return
German or Spanish websites in some cases.
Domain Filtering has a drawback though. This mechanism can only filter out websites
based on the domain name, and hence .com is always considered to be a United States
website. This is obviously not true. Many websites from other countries also have .com
domains.
