I’ve used that trick to block content farms like Experts Exchange and RoseIndia from my searches.

That’s cool, thanks! I had that “block all” link one time but could never get it back. Now I know how it works.

I was making ha-ha, you see, because the SD and SDMB might be…

Well, never mind. I’ll remember those two sites in case I ever take up programming.
