It doesn't have to expose your location information, it just has to send a slightly different URL to Google.
i.e. If you search for 'Applenova' from the Safari search field with your location (according to whatever criteria) set to 'Australia'. it should fetch
http://www.google.com
.au/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Applenova&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
instead of
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Applenova&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
Simple, and does not require Safari to expose your location information to anyone, just for Safari to be aware of your location itself. The only problem would be making sure whichever location criteria is chosen, it is accurate (there may be some issues with the city selected under Time Zone if people choose a city from a neighbouring country?).
