I don't want that in my pie!

I'd love to use this but the setting isn't present for me, not on results or in search settings... that's on Chrome 10.0.648.127

EDIT: Started up Firefox and found it working. Seems odd that a Google search setting wouldn't work with a Google browser, at least for now.

EDIT2: Seems although the setting appears-using it doesn't want to work, my banned site still appears in results

Doesn't seem to be working here on FF4.0b12, also I use encrypted.google.com for all my searches now, so I don't know if that makes a difference (I did look and it doesn't seem to be working on normal search either).

Didn't they used to have a little cross next to the search result where you could blast results you didn't want?

I suspect this won't ever affect the main ranking algorithm, if it did it would be fairly easy for groups like Anonymous to skew results so that certain sites didn't appear, or had their positions knocked.
