Try this wonderfull thing called Google....

I might start using Google more if they allow filtering out of all
the price comparison sites.

They drive me bloody mad! If you do follow the link inviarably what you
want isn't there anyway. Grrrr.

There are some utilities available that will store copied phrases and
there's also SuperKeys (which I use - but it can be flagged as malware).

To solve the problem of the comparison sites, I just click in the 'exclude'
field, hit # then - and SK drops in:

ebay "compare prices" compare amazon bizrate kelkoo dooyoo pricerunner
shopzilla nextag shoppingcentre freebytes medusa teloos "192.com"
"shop.com" betterdeals "ec21.com" "price comparison" pricemate "ciao.com"
kellysearch fastfinders

every so often I add a few more. As you say, it's often not what you want,
or the prices are high (to pay the comparison site) or, most annoyingly, it
says "sorry, we couldn't find (your item)".

When I get a tuit I'll mod. my Yahoo and Google wibbles (all the prefs.
without cookies) to include a load of exclusions and put 'en up here.
