But this feature will be gamed....and then low quality 'suggestions' with start coming up. For me I still like the old Google..

Why would you hate it? It's not like anything changed, they just added a couple of new buttons here and there, you don't have to use it? That wasn't really a question.

It should be enabled by default when you search Google. If you dont see it..just wait for few more days.

Searchwiki is hell for any SEOr because when you want to check your rankings you go back to it and your rankings are how you set them before.At present the solution above with greasemonkey is not a real solution. It is only a visual display change, it doesnt actually switch searchwiki off.Anyone got any real answers for this?All I have come up with so far is to add "&hl=all" to your search query.

Update The real way to get rid of it is to:1. Add "&hl=all" to your search query.2. Goto <a class="user" href="http://www.google.com/reviews/w">http://www.google.com/reviews/w</a> and restore all the results that you edited.

for the geniuses chiming in suggesting "ignoring" or "just dont click the search wiki links" these are not logical answers to removing search wiki's functionality. search wiki is not just visual changes to the search results, it takes all of your search or "web history" into account when it serves your searches as well as your location and also factors in your most recent searches to determine relevancy. if you have any wits about you , you might be able to see that this is NOT a good thing. in essence what this does is possibly censor content which would have otherwise been visible had it not taken these elements into account. so the results are no longer "fair", it now tries to tailor your results to display what it "thinks" you want.
