Remove Experts-Exchange From Search Results

When I search the internet I very often get results from the popular site www.experts-exchange.com. This is a forum type site where you have to be a paying member to participate. While there is nothing wrong with this, the site is setup to allow anyone to read member questions, so that their site comes up in your search results in the hopes that if you visit their site you will pay to see the answer. I, for one, am not willing to pay, therefor search results that take me to their site are completely useless.

I've created a search provider for your browser that omits results that would take you to their site.

    Yes, it's a google search with "-experts-exchange" added on. It's easier than having to type it every time.

    Cool...you can change that file to put in the search query pretty much whatever you like, so if there are other things you want to omit you could do that. I would probably try the search in Google, and then copy the URL. I had to remove all but the first = sign for some reason. I bet there is a way to keep them in there though....
