Are you saying that google.fr for example filters out .nl extensions, etc, from its results, so that only .fr results show up?

Google will never completely filter out a whole extension unless you request it to, ie this search. That search is specifically searching for .net sites only.

extensions are good for localizing your community, such if you're in the EU, a good idea to have a .eu extension. I note, it's only a good *idea*, it really doesn't have much effect on SEO.

If I own a .eu domain and host it in the US, then Google thinks it's probably geared toward US visitors. Likewise, if I have a .com hosted in the EU, it's more likely geared towards EU visitors.

It's simple geo-targeting search.

I think domain name is not that importance to me. A larger issue with selecting your target audience is to think of where you want to host the website. Hosting geo-location plays a huge, huge part in search results.

the domain name is little effect on the local and world wide visitors, so you use only world wide name that is with extension .nl is better one to use i think.

dot nl sites will come up if you're in a dutch country because it's more likely to be the result you are looking for.

if I do the same search, I probably won't get any dot nl sites, or if I do, they will be completely different than what you get.

I think what you meant to say is having a local extension is better, not specifically having a dot nl extension (which you said.)

And that, I would agree with. If you're in Spain, having a dot es (.es) extension is better than having a .org or a .net extension.

It's simply the matter of what your target audience is and where you are trying to garner traffic from.
