Would it be an improvement if unanswered questions (or ones with no replies) were hidden from Google?

I find it pretty frustrating when searching a topic and SO's unanswered or closed questions are at top the of SERPs.

We do try to remove unanswered questions after a while, though in the meantime it's important that they're able to be found - after all, someone out there might have an answer.

We're stepping up efforts to remove closed unanswered questions more promptly though, since those won't be answered and just end up being noise in the search results.
