Check your search preferences for Google. I just did a search and got: http://www.google.com/search?q=top853+usb+universal+programmer+review&ie =utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&client=firefox-a with no HTTPS links on the first page. -- You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense. |

OT Excluding Google in search results?
On 08 Nov 2011 17:33:07 GMT, John Doe put
finger to keyboard and composed: Now... Does anybody know how to put that in a URL so that it comes up properly on Google's advanced search page? I'm still using Google's very old Advanced Search format. I do this by saving a local copy of the old AS page on my hard drive, and then editing its URLs to point to Google. You could do the same for the current AS page, but you would add "-site:google.com" in place of the blank text field, as follows: labelall these words:/label/tdtd class=inputdiv class=inputwrapperinput class=box type=text value="-site:google.com" name=as_q style="width:100%" BTW... You might have trouble with the number of search results 100 if you do not know how to automatically reset that number, since Google stubbornly changes it back to 10. I allow Google to store my preferences (25 results) in a cookie. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |

Is it part of a URL? Part of some HTML code? Save the Advanced Search HTML page on your hard drive. Then edit the HTML code as shown. Create a bookmark that links to the file on your HDD and use it in preference to the original page. Here is my first attempt. Save it on your HDD and try it: http://www.users.on.net/~fzabkar/tem...ced_Search.htm I've partially edited Google's page, but I'm not good with HTML, so hopefully someone could tidy it up for you. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |

The secretary can't change her home page either. I'm willing to bet that the microsoft solution will involve upgrading some old piece of software. Why do computer issues seem like such a time sink? I learn something and five years later it's different. No ones changing the charge of an electron. George H. |
