Intelligence Filter   (+4)  [vote for, against]
Google or browser add-on

What you get when you track the summary of these... [RayfordSteele, Sep 16 2009]

Similar in concept to bing.com. More immediate and helpful, it seems. How would the engine evaluate intelligence? Would certain words such as "Youtube poop", "lolcat", and "Guitar Hero cheat codes" trigger a negative result, where more "intelligent" words yeild a more positive result?

It would be the ultimate spam filter if you could perfect this technique. I think it's overly optimistic given current capabilities.

spelling, ratio of upper to lowercase, number of exclamation points for content; for a search-engine flaggable things like the search phrase actually being part of the visible text, lack of recursivity in links, document size... stuff google shoulda put in but didn't.
