As Experts-exchange has already started to irritate me, I found an alternative, which is a Greasemonkey script called Google Search Filter Plus. This doesn't do as much as customizegoogle, but the filtering bit works absolutely fine. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/39996 Cheers, Matt Hi Andy,

Now, all I need to do is find a list of all those mass-produced software directory sites that turn up when I'm looking for something vaguely related to software, and I'll be in heaven :-) Great suggestion. For anyone else who's not heard of this plugin, it's at http://www.customizegoogle.com/ What did we do before Firefox??? Andy Hi Matt,

I never saw the point of the captchas myself. You'd think it would be to prevent spiders and web scraping bots from scraping their website, but the page after the captch is the source site, not bigresource.com's page. You could be onto something... Thanks for sharing. Andy Hi,

Thanks for sharing.

I don't get why. I'm concerned it is just a vehicle for getting humans to solve a captcha so that they can bypass the captcha protection on other websites... Oh I hope it isn't the case, and its just my own little conspiracy theory. Thing with bigresource.com is when you go to view any of the articles, it presents you with a captcha code. I don’t get why.
