I tried a quick test this morning, searching for Northwest Digital Archives content thru Google's China search system. For one example search (right), the NWDA document (with its ARK identifier) is ranked #2 in the google.cn result set, while the same document is ranked #1 in the current, standard Google system.An overall repository search in Google (syntax: site:nwda-db.wsulibs.wsu.edu inurl:ark) yielded similar results in both systems: www.google.com: approximately 4,050 results; google.cn: approximately 4,150 results.
