You should try going to www.google.com/ncr first and then see if your results are different.

What is that? It redirects me to www.google.com.

"no country redirect", sets a cookie to prevent you getting the google domain for your locale

and doesn't work anymore like you think it works

it keeps you on google.com

but you still get your markets search results and your language (thx europes "right to be forgotten" for the decline of /ncr functionality)
