Hi all,

can someone tell me if/how it's possible to change the google search URL to http://www.google.com/ncr (no country redirect)? I hate the geolocation that google does.

google.com/ncr sets a permanent cookie in a browser that should theoretically redirect me to the international (English) google.com anytime I search after accessing it the first time, but this doesn't seem to work on my iPod Touch. Even after accessing google.com/ncr from Safari, searching from within the browser sends me to local google sites (.fr, .nl, .ch -- I travel a lot.)

It's jailbroken and I can SSH in, if that helps. Thanks!
