Any difference from the existing one on this page? http://www.focusontheuser.org/extensions.php http://www.focusontheuser.org/extensions.php

  eh, at least this one has the source posted.
• andrewguenther 15y ago
  I honestly hadn't seen that that was there. Thanks for pointing it out! I guess the only real difference is mine is available through the Chrome Web Store and has the full extension source hosted. EDIT: Checked with a few people, no one remembers seeing the extension link earlier today. Can anyone confirm when they first saw it? (I saw the post around 10 this morning and decided to write the extension. Just want to confirm my efforts weren't totally in vein)

    Jesus dude, I searched for two guys who essentially live in Google Plus - Trey Ratcliff and Guy Kawasaki.. and your extension returns everything but their G+ profile pages on the first page of the search result?? I know it is hip to be anti-Google now but this is ridiculous.
    • andrewguenther 15y ago
      Not trying to be anti-Google at all. I searched both of those names and both of their Google+ pages came up on the first page. The extension only adds more social links the "Related People and Pages" sidebar. Even then, it only adds links, it doesn't remove the Google+ pages. Your regular search results are not modified at all. Try searching for "movies" to get a better feel for what it actually does.

        The profile URLs are: Trey Ratcliff: https://plus.google.com/105237212888595777019/posts https://plus.google.com/105237212888595777019/posts Guy Kawasaki: https://plus.google.com/112374836634096795698/posts https://plus.google.com/112374836634096795698/posts Neither of them show up after I install your chrome extension because the "Show Personal Results" is enabled by default. Your extension does show those G+ profile pages ONLY IF I switch to "Hide Personal Results". This is a problem with the original bookmarklet as well.
        • andrewguenther 15y ago
          I will look into this and try to modify the original script so that Personal Results remain untouched. Would you be willing to post a screenshot comparing the results with the extension on and off? I can't seem to reproduce what you are seeing.

            This is the only way I could share the screenshots - sorry if they take a little long to load. Else ping me on Twitter with the same handle and I can attach using yfrog Search results with your extension ENABLED and "Show Personal Results" selected: http://www.quick-markup.com/edit/4f1e4698e51f6 http://www.quick-markup.com/edit/4f1e4698e51f6 Search results with your extension ENABLED and "Hide Personal Results" selected: http://www.quick-markup.com/edit/4f1e487c9ac72 http://www.quick-markup.com/edit/4f1e487c9ac72 Search results with your extension DISABLED and "Hide Personal Results" selected: http://www.quick-markup.com/edit/4f1e47b4f0723 http://www.quick-markup.com/edit/4f1e47b4f0723

              Thanks, I will look into this more and keep you updated on any changes I make.

  Confirmed by this article: http://searchengineland.com/dont-be-evil-tool-google-108971 http://searchengineland.com/dont-be-evil-tool-google-108971 The extension was not available when I started working on my own. Phew!
