Clear your browsing history and cookies

If you see different results in a regular browser, the reason may be that Google personalizes the results you see based on your search history. To see the realistic results, not distorted by any previous searches, make sure to clear history and cookies, as well as log out of your Google/Bing/Yahoo accounts before running a manual search.
