startpage strips your information before sending your query to google.

12669604, you could try using google for a specific country.

i.e. if you wanted to google from Mexico you would use www.google.com.mx

12669615, you using google scholar?
Posted by placee_22, Mon Dec-08-14 03:08 PM
you can just enter the Country/ region of interest in the search term.
Also, you may just want to use your university's library database. They're gonna have way more stuff searchable by country etc.
Hit up web of science/knowledge, that shit is legit.
