cRank accepts a query string (e.g. a YouTube video topic) and a matcher (e.g. a specific YouTube channel) then cycles through a complete list of iso3166 countries, attempting to connect to a TOR node from each, and generates a ranking report based on the country, the query string and the search ranking of the matcher. The typical use-case of cRank is to determine if a matcher is being politically censored within a given country by comparing its global search ranking results.
