Hm... Take this as a suggestion/loud thinking rather than criticism:
Generally I don't experience the lack of results, i.e. mixing up flickr, wikipedia and usual google's output isn't appealing to me. For instance I can always force wikipedia results by adding "wiki" at the end of my search. Same with youtube, etc.
The issue I'd like someone else to solve is the opposite: show me LESS instead of more. Oftentimes my search strings look painfully long, only because I'm trying to filter stuff out. A typical example would be googling for anything purchasable: fake review sites, web stores and commercialized "blogs"/linkfarms are all good at playing this game, and finding a real PHPbb form where photography people are talking about a particular lens or a monitor is becoming harder and harder. The same goes for bicycling equipment, computers, nearly everything. The only searches I find satisfying are mostly about history/wikipedia/programming/science.
Google isn't interested at solving this problem: their business depends on merchants being happy, whereas users don't need 2 pages of full of buy now!! offers staring at them after every search query.
Basically I want more intelligent version of typing:
"high quality LCD -buy -price -cnet -bargain"
