Google search results are personalized (based on your search history) and in general this is useful. However, as Google learns what I like it then provides me customized results and sometimes I am interested in how thing rank in the "regular" search. The regular search is becoming less and less relavant as so many results are personalized still I find it interesting. To view unpersonalized Google search results add &pws=0 to the end of the query url.
For Example to search for me, John Hunter, the first link gives your personal results and the second gives the "regular results":
http://www.google.com/search?q=john+hunter
http://www.google.com/search?q=john+hunter&pws=0
For engineering blog:
http://www.google.com/search?q=engineering+blog
http://www.google.com/search?q=engineering+blog&pws=0
For country manufacturing data
http://www.google.com/search?q=country+manufacturing+data
http://www.google.com/search?q=country+manufacturing+data&pws=0
