Have a serch engine which would put all personal (Non-informational) homepages in a seperate catagory, so when a search was performed, it would have far less junk on it.

A lot of the most informative pages I've come across are personal ones...I'd like one that killed off all the porn websites that put dictionaries in their meta tags... |
|

Of course, the idea of having other domain suffixes for different types of sites would be wonderful as well. For example- .xxx for porn, .firm for certain businesses, .store for online stores, etc. It would be easy to tell the search engine to exclude certain domain suffixes altogether. It would also work very well with programs such as IE5's Content Advisor, CyberPatrol, and NetNanny. |

This idea was suggested years ago and was actually being considered by InterNIC. There was a domain suffix for personal pages, but I cannot remember what it was. |
|
|
The only problem is: it might be tough to get the porn sites to change their domain names. |
|
|
StarChaser: I sometimes include "and not anal-sex" to weed out the porn web sites that try to "throw a dictionary" at the search engines. Seems to work pretty well. |
|
|
Yeah, if I can remember to, it works... |

[supercat] I tried that, but now all my searches return nil results. |
|
|
Now many personal sites are in form of blogs which can be exclusively search by daypop like site. |
|
|
This post makes me wonder what is in the [Manatee] searches that are then nullified by the [supercat] suggestion. |

I beleive this would be .name |
|
|
Either way, i've never really had a problem with personal webpages, it's those damn search sites that lead you to another search site that lead you back to the first search site that piss me off. |
|
|
I'd like an option that filtered out the price comparison sites that never stock the single component you're looking for. |
|
|
Aye. And the spec sheet sites that list your component, but don't have a spec sheet for it. |
|
|
I decided to bun this one. Even though I agree that you can find plenty of good stuff on personal sites this could be implemented as an optional filter. There are too many non-PC savvy people out there who click on anything and everything in the search engine and then they wonder why they get slammed with all of the spyware. |
