As I pointed out above

And contribution for the ncr thing is welcome.

> Do you know I might expect 3.7.1 to hit the debian repos?

Latest googler is in stretch-backports.[1] You're otherwise at the mercy of Debian's nondeterminate release schedule.

Okay, I don't know about google.com/ncr, sounds like a nice to have, but the annoyance is so minor I don't see myself putting effort into this. Not putting word into @jarun's mouth but he probably won't spend time on this feature either. Contribution is of course welcome (not saying it will definitely be merged).

By the way, I missed this part:

> Please note that results return empy if I do not include the --noua option.

Yeah, google made changes and you need to upgrade to 3.7.1.

I mean, based on the example you gave here, I fail to conclude Google is giving you Japanese results in general. You just happened to hit on a relevant Japanese company.

If I search for "nintendo japan" here in the U.S., I get Japanese results too.

Does this happen for other queries? Maybe you're getting this zebra.co.jp result because ZEBRA is a well-known company in Japan? Google may customize results based on your geolocation.

You’re not actually redirected to google.co.jp; if you were, it would show up in the logs. Therefore, I’m not really sure why the server is giving you Japanese results.
