Did some searching to find a way to make the -experts-exchange permanent. I tried lots of searches looking for a Filter (persistent) for Google -- thought maybe FireFox or IE may have something. I found a FoxFilter for FireFox -- couldn't get it to simply exclude experts-exchange. I did find that Google lets you create a Custom Search engine , which I did. Once set up it has a control panel option that lets you exclude specific sites or patterns. I have it excluding experts-exchange. Set it up as a desktop icon -- so it's permanent. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jack and Pat Sent: Friday, May 08, 2009 4:43 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Experts Exchange is pay only Duh! Senior' s moment. The Advanced search we're talking about is Google not IE and not FireFox. You can exclude "experts-exchange" by putting "experts-exchange" or "site:experts-exchange" into Google Advanced search's unwanted words textbox. It's Friday, I'll be OK soon. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jack and Pat Sent: Friday, May 08, 2009 4:32 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Experts Exchange is pay only Yes, I agree with Ed. I used IE Advanced search and added "experts-exchange" (no quotes) on the unwanted words line. Seems to work fine with Advanced search. It stuffs the -experts-exchange into the search terms box. Still looking for something for FireFox. jack -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Tesiny, Ed Sent: Friday, May 08, 2009 3:18 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Experts Exchange is pay only I think you could make it permanent in IE, if you add your minus experts, etc. to google advanced search and then make your default on opening IE the current page...I think Ed Tesiny EdTesiny at oasas.state.ny.us -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jwcolby Sent: Friday, May 08, 2009 2:57 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Experts Exchange is pay only yep it works, wish I could make it permanent.
