Basically , . com is the standard or international and the locals are regionbased . do , . fr , . jp , . hr , , . pl , . ru , etc . These are also known as toplevel domains or TLDs . Now , I ' m not an expert , but I ' ll try to fill in with what I know . Google search and YouTube website have difference servers around the globe . So , when you ' re connecting to YouTube , you ' re not directly connecting to YouTube , you ' re connecting to a cache version near you . Why is that ? Well , this way it is faster for both the server and the user , since it ' s physically closer . It should be similar with Google search , expect there are also some adjustments done based on region . It is entirely possible that the movie showing up instead of an actual year length was a bug in Google ' s software detecting the meaning from wording poorly , and that was fixed , but fix was only applied to . com , never to other domains . Or , something similar . I am no expert , but this sounds like something logical from my limited knowledge about it .
