However, since I don't like being tracked pervasively ( google-apis, google-ads, googlesyndecation, google-everything-else... ), I'll be using Opera for my wiki-searches, and my narmal FF for webbing the intertubes...

Ha!

experts arnt such experts clicj on the google search and scroll to the bottom.

bingo its free!!

Got that right Mark. The first thing I did when I saw that I could click the X next to search items was search for "Expert Exchange" and hit the X next to the link that appeared at the top.

Good riddance.

On another note, they had this feature long ago, but removed it for some reason. I don't think it correlated results from other people though.

I wonder how crack-proof this is. Since many people remain logged in to their google accounts all the time, will it be possible for a web page to forge requests to remove rivals or promote specific sites?

wonderful - now I can demote all those links to Elsevier, etc., that provide the full text of articles to the Google search engine spider, but only present me with the abstract.

R.I.P Experts Exchange. I need never see your paid-for search results ever again. Good riddance..
