Google results filter...

['Mash-3]

I just had an idea...

Would it be possible to create an optional "g" (Google search) to use a defined list of sites you wish to filter out of the search, using Google's "-term" ?

For instance in your .rc file you could create a list of sites or terms

    filterList = ('wikipedia','bigresource.com')

and then say using "gf" you would get:

http://www.google.com/search?q=javascript+function+-wikipedia+-bigresource.com


I have no idea how to implement this even in a webjump without spending hours; but one of you lot could surely whip-up a webjump or expand the Google module.

The idea came when I wanted to create a easy way to filter out the horror that is "bigresource.com" from my results.

Doesn't google itself have this feature?  Next to each search result,
there is an [X] button.  Not 100% sure.

To do this in conkeror would entail adding a feature to
google-search-results-mode, not creating a webjump.

I haven't looked into Google modes, but you can put this quick
Javascript in your .conkerorrc for a webjump:

google_blacklist_array = ["wikipedia", "bigresource.com"];
google_blacklist = "";
for(var i=0; i<google_blacklist_array.length; i++)
{
    google_blacklist += "+-" + google_blacklist_array[i];
}
define_webjump("gf", "http://www.google.com/search?q=%s"+google_blacklist);

That's probably not the best way to do it, but it works :)
