Google's new SearchWiki features, which supposedly make it possible to rearrange and annotate search results, is turning into something of a train wreck. First Google released the feature without offering a way to turn it off, then the company inexplicably disabled it for a while and then restored it without making any changes.
If you've had about enough of SearchWiki we have good news: an equally disgruntled user has whipped a Greasemonkey script to hide most of SearchWiki's features. The aptly named No SearchWiki doesn't disable SearchWiki but it does hide the links, which many feel clutter up the otherwise stark simplicity of Google's search results page (especially if you use AVG, which already inserts its own links).
So if you'd just as soon SearchWiki went the way of the Dodo, you can help it along. Just grab the script from userscripts.org. No SearchWiki works wherever Greasemonkey does, if you're on IE, check out this script which does basically the same thing.
