xStripper
Lets you strip down any page to the bare essentials just by adding an XPath to the end of the URL. Great with LookItUp
Simply add #xpath= then the appropriate path to the end of the URL and only things that match the path will be shown.
I have adapted the xpath to accept CSS syntax for the selection of classes and IDs.
It works great with LookItUp
for example:
Google definehttp://www.google.com/search?lookitup&q=define:[words]&xpath=/
or
Free Dictionaryhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?lookitup&Word=[words]#xp
or (thanks Bjørn)
Google Imageshttp://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&q=[words]&xpath=//a[i

Awesome script. Can you help me? I've used Xpath Checker on a site to get this value:
id('ajaxResults')/div/table
How would I go about adding this to the URL with xpath?

Amazing script--I totally agree with Zur. Very clever.
You may not get a thousand downloads, but you're likely to enable a thousand new scripts. :)

Bjørn, go for it, I like the idea of adding CSS, and javascript as well. Keep up the good work dude!

Its a great idea to send stripping instructions in url. And its clever to use xpath to select nodes, because the syntax is extremely compact. I would like to implement it in LookItUp. May I reuse your code?
I'm extending the idea, so its also possible to send a xpath that selects nodes that should be removed. And its also possible to send css to be applied, and even javascript to be evaluated. Its quite useful to be able to mix several techniques.
Btw, here is an example of google images:

That's an extremely clever script.
