Few days back, Google launched the Google SearchWiki feature which allows the users to customize the search results by promoting, demoting and adding new pages.

Some people might not like this feature because it can have negative impact on the search results provided by the Google Search. But, Google doesn't provide a way to turn off SearchWiki feature other than logging out from your Google account.

But according to a post published in Google Operating System, by installing a Greasemonkey script the interface for this additional functionality can be kept hidden. If you are using Firefox, install Greasemonkey extension, restart the browser and the add the No SearchWiki script. Google's search results will look clean again, even if you are logged in.


The script also works in Opera, which has built-in support for userscripts. Just go to Tools>Preferences>Advanced>Content>JavaScript Options, choose a folder in the "User JavaScript files" box and then save the script in that folder.
