Scroogle search URL filter

Oddysey,

Quote:Personally? I'd stick with using Scott's default redirection
filter, and typing in the occasional period. Seems like little effort,
to me. So far, Scroogle hasn't shown me anything that a good set of
filters can't already do.

With Scott's filter, if you include a period or a slash, the filter
will ignore the URL box contents, because URLs have periods, and often
slashes, in them. I am using Scott's filter for the URL bar with
Firefox and using the Scroogle search plugin. The Scroogle search
filter that JJoe made workable is set up to be used in IE (if I am ever
forced to browse with it).
Scroogle states that it sets no cookies (which I block from Google
anyway), keeps no search term records, and deletes its access log
within 48 hours. It also does not send your search terms out to the
destination site in the referrer (which I alter with a referer filter
anyway) because of its use of "POST".
I still have to use Google sometimes if I want to access more than 100
search results, because Scroogle only fetches one page full of results.
Scroogle also does not show cached pages or convert .doc or .pdf files
to .html. It also does not offer searching specifically for images.
