Too Smart?

Is Google's basic search becoming too smart for me? I know that Google has a lot of patents in artificial intelligence but are these being applied within the search service? I have searched the last few days on subjects and it seems that they try to 'localize' my results within the most information they can get about me. It seems that results in Arabic, from Arabic websites, and with other preferences come up as if I chose the settings to be as such. I can't find settings on how to reverse this.
I know it might be good for most searchers, but I think that most of us also know about the 'advanced search' settings. I think Google should consider starting to offer a more advanced, as in more controllable, search service as an option from the basic search; much more advanced than the current 'advanced' search.
