That's about my "custom search engine" where I am excluding web
spammers. Right now I am excluding about 63 of them and parts searches
are finally useful again. (without a-holes like china-ic.com,
globalspec, bizrate, etc).

First of all, I fixed its settings so that it accepts collaborators. I
will obviously accept anyone who I can recognize.

I did something cute that I am using myself. I added this search
engine to the Firefox search bar (the drop down menu where you can
choose which search engine to use). It should also work for IE.

To install this search engine as a choice in your browser, go to

http://ef.algebra.com/

and click on "add this search engine to IE or Firefox".

I am also very interested in your suggestions of what other junk sites
I missed.

I get this

This XML file does not appear to have any style information
associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

when I try to add it to firefox

Check your firefox search bar, the search should be there. Did you
enable javascript? Let me know, I will help all I can, quite possibly
I did mess something up, but it did install in my firefox.

You need to enable javascript for this to work.

Thanks, It work now

Great. If you want to become a collaborator, or just suggest more spam
sites (they seem to appear about one new spam site per week), let me
know, just email to ichudov@xxxxxxxxxxxx I am very happy that you find
it useful.

I guess that there are two categories of parts spammers: One kind of
spammer does not actually have the data*** at all, whereas a different
kind of spammer (or maybe not spammer?) does have the data*** but wants
to sell it to you. I would personally like to exclude both kinds, but I
guess some people might be prepared to pay for data sheets etc. sometimes.
Do you think it is worth having two levels of filtering?
