Only now I can't find it. Anyone? post:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.48641 Sun, 15 Oct 2006 13:05:28 -0800 Mwongozi google product search spam http://ask.metafilter.com/48641/Google-product-search-spam-filter#740028 It wouldn't be some extension of <a href="http://froogle.google.com">Froogle</a>, would it? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.48641-740028 Sun, 15 Oct 2006 13:27:44 -0800 Glitter Ninja http://ask.metafilter.com/48641/Google-product-search-spam-filter#740037 No, it was a separate web site, that did regular web searches on Google, only with lots of "minus" keywords added. It was really useful for cutting out Google spam, and I'm an idiot for not bookmarking it. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.48641-740037 Sun, 15 Oct 2006 13:42:15 -0800 Mwongozi http://ask.metafilter.com/48641/Google-product-search-spam-filter#740060 Was it <a href="http://www.givemebackmygoogle.com/">givemebackmygooogle</a>? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.48641-740060 Sun, 15 Oct 2006 14:06:43 -0800 TheDonF http://ask.metafilter.com/48641/Google-product-search-spam-filter#740062 <small>one too many "o"s in there, but the URL's fine...</small> comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.48641-740062 Sun, 15 Oct 2006 14:08:17 -0800 TheDonF http://ask.metafilter.com/48641/Google-product-search-spam-filter#740130 Yes, it was!
