Google Minus Google

Google Minus Google

I am sure you will agree with me that Google really pushes its own properties too much in their search results. So somebody just created an unofficial clone of Google that looks just like the real thing… except, as the homepage disclaims, you’ll search Google “without getting results from Google sites such as Knol, Blogger and YouTube.”

Creator of this Google Clone, Timo Paloheimo in his blog says Google Minus Google was inspired “by an article in NYT about Google becoming a media company.” Timo via email writes, “The tool is by no means perfect, more of a proof-of concept than a final product.”

So how does this new Google clone works? You’ll see when you perform a search: your query will just be redirected to a normal Google.com search, but it will be appended with [site:google.* -site:google.co.* -site:google.com.* -site:blogger.com -site:youtube.com -site:blogspot.com -site:jaiku.com -site:gmail.com].

Fun isn’t it?
