FYI - the results you see are unique to you. Other people doing the exact same thing can see a different set of results.

Do you know what criteria Google uses for the results? For example, If I clear cookies in my browser and I'm not logged in, is it using my geographical area?

I have two ISPs, and my router balances between them. One is satellite, so the IP is in a different state. I have noticed a difference in YouTube suggestions based on which connection is being used, but I haven't seen much difference on Google.
