That's pretty much the plot of Quarantine, isn't it?
Having trouble googling that. Could you provide a link? Or an explanation, I guess.
ETA: actually, I think I found it.
Google suggestions: "quarantine fiction", "quarantine wavefunction".
This comment led to my discovery that the Google settings on this computer were screwy. I think I found it now. Thank you!
Really? I'm kinda curious, how can Google settings be screwy in such a way that would stop you from finding the top hits?
I dunno, but I've had it happen (and it started working when I signed out of Google).
This is probably not the same issue as MugaSofer and arundelo report, but sometimes when I'm on my phone Google notices that I'm in Italy, switches the interface to Italian even though I repeatedly told it that I want it in English, and starts to privilege pages in Italian in the search results by a ginormous amount even when searching for a term in English. (Switching the interface back to English fixes this.)
A search-redirecting toolbar, perhaps.
Google will sometimes offer to return pages from the country you're in, which, while useful if you're looking for tourism or whatever, is less helpful if you live in Ireland and the thing you're looking for ... doesn't. I've never used it; this is what I get for using a shared computer.
There are many, many works of fiction titled "Quarantine". And your second suggestion throws up all sorts of unrelated stuff.
