When the "filter" option is used in CustomizeGoogle (a wonderful extension, by the way), the filtered results are replaced with a line of text alerting you that a result has been removed.

Originally inspired by Google Search Results Filter, the purpose of this style is to ENTIRELY remove ALL filtered search results; if I intended to filter a specific site, I don't necessarily want to a giant hole in the layout of search results. This style takes care of that, removing any trace, all without breaking the layout of the page. Also, you do not have to update your "list", as there is no "list," as there is in Google Search Results Filter.

This style works for both sites CustomizeGoogle filters: 1) Google search results and 2) Google News

If you use CustomizeGoogle, please also see: CustomizeGoogle additions - Google Web, CustomizeGoogle additions - Google Images, CustomizeGoogle additions - Google Books, and CustomizeGoogle additions - Google Products.

This seems an excellent "one shot stop" instead of individually listing all elements USBman - I've put a link to this style on my version so folks have an alternative. I like specificity, and now the "+table" reference written originally by np is now working again, according to Webb (see notes on my original style for this). My version works great for me, but I do have to add the name to both C.G.'s filter AND my style (just did a couple the other day!)

However this one also preserves page layout, but you don't have to add a filtered name to BOTH Customize Google and the style - very nifty indeed.
I'll test this out later as it would make creating a NEW filter as easy as adding to the my regex in Customize Google alone, not both. Very nice! *****
