Searching Google Without Advertisements
If you are like me, you probably think that the advertisements on Google are mostly annoying. In rare cases they show something interesting, but most of the advertisement on Google searches are not useful for the things I am looking for — unless I am trying to buy something.
Now, for a limited period of time, you can have access to Google search without the annoying ads. The trick is using the test search engine that Google announced recently.
The idea behind this is that Google wants to test its new infrastructure for search. So, they will allow anyone to search on it, as a way of checking that results are correct.
The interface is identical to the current system, but the results may be a little different.
So here is the tip: if you want to help test this new infrastructure and, more importantly, avoid seeing the ads showing everywhere on Google, just use the address http://www2.sandbox.google.com/ instead of google.com.
