Future browser "advanced search" option idea...
I was thinking over the past few years about a way to filter thru the pages one doesnt want to see anymore in the search of "free energy" results...
I have talked in other forums about this... but what about a "ignore" cookie...?
So I was wondering do you think that google could offer this "Cookie Filter" and by that I mean an option next to the ( Cached - Similar pages)...
they could also have ( Cached - Similar pages - Ignore)???
this option would allow your browser to add this info to a Cookie stored on your computer and ignore this url... when searching...?
Any time the url came up in a search result returned... the computer would skip to the next result in series...? Ignoring that perticular section of html...
Your thoughts...?
Also, there could be an option to display ignored results/stored URLs or to re-activate or disable the "ignore" cookie...

re: Search Cookie Filter Concept
I said the idea "needs tweaking" because I think individually ignoring web sites or urls would quickly turn into a management and maintenance nightmare, both for individual users and for Google.
But the idea of personalizing web searches is a good one, and in fact Google has already started developing and deploying software to do this.

There you can set up a profile (in just a few clicks with no personal information at all), and then use a slider bar to adjust the filtering level of your search results from min to max personalization. It's quite cool.
For example, I tend to get pretty interesting results when I set my profile this way and slide the personalization level up to max:
Your Profile
- Math
- Physics
- Astronomy
- Technology
- Philosophy
- History
- Environment
