CustomizeGoogle
CustomizeGoogle is a Firefox extension that enhance Google search results by adding extra information (like links to Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, MSN etc) and removing unwanted information (like ads and spam). All features are optional and easily configured from the options menu.
CustomizeGoogle features:
- uses Google Suggest when you search

- rewrites links to point straight to the images in Google Images
- removes image copying restrictions in Google Print
- secures Gmail, switches to https
- anonymize your Google userid
- removing ads (disabled by default)
- adds counter in search result
- remove spam from search results

via [SearchEngineWatch]
there is also a greasemonkey user script here witch does the same.
I think that the advantage of the greasemonkey script is that is easy to disable and easy to “recustomize” too. For example I added the “Try your search on…” feature tho search in a9, del.icio.us and yubnub just modifying the _otherWebSearches function to this:
_otherWebSearches: function(q) {
var s = ”;
s += ‘Gmail, ‘;
s += ‘Yahoo, ‘;
s += ‘Ask Jeeves, ‘;
s += ‘AlltheWeb, ‘;
s += ‘Teoma, ‘;
s += ‘MSN, ‘;
s += ‘A9, ‘;
s += ‘Del.icio.us, ‘;
s += ‘Bloglines, ‘;
s += ‘YubNub, ‘;
s += ‘Technorati, ‘;
s += ‘Feedster, ‘;
s += ‘Daypop‘;
return s;
},
I don’t publish my own user script because I don’t know if this is ok whit the GPL license of Mark Pilgrim’s script
