To get Google to search the wrong location, first ensure your device’s location services are turned off to prevent automatic location detection. Then, manually change your location settings in Google. You can do this by going to Google’s homepage, clicking on ‘Settings’ at the bottom right, selecting ‘Search settings,’ and then the ‘Location’ tab. Here, you can change your location to anywhere you prefer. Additionally, using a VPN service to mask your real IP address can trick Google into assuming you are accessing the internet from a different location.
