When you are redirected, there is a chance you may have to login to Google again and also reconfigure some of your search settings.  <\/p>\n<p>But overall, there won\u2019t be any significant changes. Google wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s important to note that while this update will change what people see in their browser address bar, it won\u2019t affect the way Search works, nor will it change how we handle obligations under national laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Timing. <\/strong>This change will begin today but \u201cwill be rolled out gradually over the coming months,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we care. <\/strong>You may notice slightly different referral traffic from Google Search, related to this change. <\/p>\n<p>This may also impact your signed in experience with Google.com in the short term.<\/p>\n<p>But outside of that, there should be no other large changes with these ccTLD changes for Google Search.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"about-author\">\n<p>About the author<\/p>\n<div class=\"information\">\n<div class=\"author-module\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-3 text-center\">\n<div class=\"avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid rounded-circle avatar-border\" alt=\"Barry Schwartz\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/images\/authors\/BarrySchwartz-lg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid rounded-circle avatar-border\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/images\/authors\/BarrySchwartz-lg.jpg\" alt=\"Barry Schwartz\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-9\">\n<div class=\"about\">\n<div class=\"name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Barry Schwartz<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"row g-2 pt-2\">\n<div class=\"col-auto twitter\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/follow?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fsearchengineland.com%2F&amp;region=follow_link&amp;screen_name=rustybrick&amp;tw_p=followbutton&amp;variant=2.0\" rel=\"me\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"opens in a new tab\"><i class=\"fab fa-x-twitter\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rustybrick\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"opens in a new tab\"><i class=\"fab fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tBarry Schwartz is a technologist and a Contributing Editor to Search Engine Land and a member of the programming team for SMX events.
