Description

Google Search Filter Plus makes the google results page a lot cleaner, by filtering out useless results which you define
It has wildcard support, regex support, and can filter based on title, description, and url, or a combination of these
It can handle thousands of filters with no visible slowdown, this is done by using a modified version of the adblock plus matching engine
There are included extensions which work with other scripts and other google search features, see below for details

Writing Filters

See http://adblockplus.org/en/filters for writing filters in general
Differences are described below

To bring up the config page, either login to google and there will be a dropdown in preferences, or use the greasemonkey command in the menu

Filter syntax

urlFilter$urlOption$titleFilter$titleOption$summaryFilter$summaryOption
Each filter follows the regular adblock plus filter syntax
There are the following options available:
    match_case: specifies that the filter is case-sensitive
Only urlFilter needs to be filled in, the other filters are optional

Example filters

||test.com^: this will filter everything from the domain test.com
||ozspeedtest.com^$match_case$home$$welcome: this will filter the domain ozspeedtest.com case-sensitive,
    matches anything with 'home' in the title, and 'welcome' in the description
