I am so sick of google's search result urls with tracking info

Excellent find J-Mac -- GoogleMonkeyR works quite well! (took me a while to find that the options dialog is available under the upper right Gear menu on search results screen).  :up:

Best part is - and I have never seen this in a GM script before - that when you click on the Settings icon and open the GoogleMonkeyR settings, at the lower left where it normally shows "History-Prefs -..." it will show any updates to the script and offers to install them directly from there. Pretty cool actually.

in newer versions of firefox (versions 4 & 5), the statusbar is hidden by default. you need to install an add-on to bring back the status bar.

Yes, it's hidden by default, but you don't need an add-on to get it back.  It has simply been renamed "add-on bar."  If you click on View-->Toolbars and put a check mark next to Add-on Bar, the status bar will appear and remain.

Mouser, I don't think you use opera, but just in case:

Have you ever tried Scroogle? http://www.scroogle.org/scraper.html

 I've been using it for a coupla years now; and I like it so much that I donated...
But the donation doesn't necessarily go to the operators of Scroogle. You can pick your amount and favorite charity!

I forgot to mention that it is explained at the top-level domain: http://www.scroogle.org/

Ben,

Does Scroogle just pass on your search terms and then return whatever Google returns? I guess the really important question (to me) is: Will my searches through Scroogle still be subject to Google's asinine restructuring/respelling of my search terms?  (Which I obviously hate with much passion!) I have a feeling that it does since it appears that it just passes info to and from Google, eliminating only the tracking aspect of it.

Thank you.

Jim
