No idea if that works from China though. From Hong Kong it does.

I've been trying to add your "ncr" google page as a new search engine, per the instructions in this article. I can add a new one, but I'm not seeing the "make default" option anywhere. Again, I've done this process in the past, but for some reason I'm at an impasse this time around.
