Very nice idea, good technical discussion in the docs, but it omits one tiny detail: what do the plugins with the returned score? Filter the displayed results?

Edit: Answer is yes, they filter. In Firefox, at least, after installing you see a "Welcome to..." page which says that in the first sentence. And the code makes it clear. (And why does Bing omit wrappers in Chrome???)

Thanks for taking a look mate.

Yep you got it, the extension displays the score on the search engine result. I thought about making it filter out all the "bad" results... perhaps in the next version.

And why does bing do it??? I pulled my hair out for a while over that one, it was wreaking a bit of havoc in the tests.
