Public bug reported:

Affects: epiphany-browser (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
When using Epiphany's keyword search feature, it defaults to using www.google.co.uk.  Since I live in the the US it should default to www.google.com.  In the general case, it should probably default to a specific Google site based upon the user's localization.
The fix would be setting "keyword.url" to "http://www.google.${COUNTRY}/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q"
in about:config.

(a side note: firefox assumes www.google.com for it's "I'm feeling
lucky" search, it should also choose this site based on localization)
