It just seems impractical. If it’s just about documenting what Google is censoring than that can be done with this. The OpenNet Initiave also documents what sites and keywords are being blocked and it regularly tests the filters in China and elsewhere (Saudi Arabia etc…). But providing remote searches for users really doesn’t serve any purpose. Search results should be immediate, and generally searches have to be personally tailored and modified. As well, providing search results that are omitted from Google.cn would mostly be providing links to sites that are blocked in China. Users here still would not be able to access them without a proxy. What can help China is faster and more reliable proxy servers. More people in the West joining the TOR network would help.
