Remove Experts Exchange from Google Search Results
About once I week I do a google search, usually regarding the vagueries of C++ destructors or something, that produces a raft of hits from experts-exhange.com and the top of the results. Since experts-exchange.com hooking you with questions, then hitting you up for cash before it actually gives you the information you're looking for, these bogus results are a distraction from the task at hand.
Usually I just hold my nose and scroll by these results, but then a tweet reminded me of the Three Virtues. Why the hell isn't the computer doing this work for me?
So after teaching myself a little javascript and a little xpath (again), I rolled a greasemonkey user script to remove these pesky obstacles to real information.
The script can be found here. You will need to install greasemonkey (and firefox) before you can use it.
Todo:
- UI for adding domains to remove from the searches.
- Support other search engines.
