Is anyone annoyed by google results as regularly as I am? We are approaching a sum "0" when it comes to search engines, I'd hate to see google fall by the way of Wal-mart in that it's the only choice and it sucks. With that premiss, shouldn't we have ways to filter our searches? For example; if you're searching for hints on php programming, you will undoubtedly get some good results from stackoverflow, but in this case the information is too technical for your inquiry, it would be nice if you could do a search with omissions. Furthermore, it goes without saying that we are not always looking to buy something and search results do not discriminate and invariably try to sell you something while it is the furthest thing from your mind, another case for an omission. If you are listening, tell me somebody's working on this so I can stop pulling out my hair
