My query was written in English, but because I had the Google UI in French, the query was set to only query French pages. There is no visible way to change this.<br /><br />If you have that problem: use http://www.google.com/alerts/export and check the second to last column is what you expect. Make sure to visit http://www.google.com/alerts/manage?hl=en if you want your query to run against pages in English.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-71829556337947585562010-06-10T13:01:08.431-07:002010-06-10T13:01:08.431-07:00I depend on Google Alerts for many things.
