google: multi Url untangler

[susax]

can this filter be changed so that it would permit the right-side (on google.com on the very right side after a search) links to go directly to the address on the link?

Name = "Google: Multi URL Untangler"
Active = TRUE
Multi = TRUE
URL = "[^/]++.google."
Bounds = "<a\s*>"
Limit = 512
Match = "<a(*href=)\1$AV(/url\?*=((http|ftp)(s|)://)\2(\3(\&|%26)[a-z](=|%3D)[#1:*]|\3))\4"
Replace = "<a id="prxPref"\1"\2$UESC(\3)"\4"

for example, if searching for the word junk, on the right side there would be at least one item for junk at ebay.com but the link shows

http://www.google.com/url?sa=l&ai=B9JAvS...s500292289

If it's on the right, it's an ad.
Which - as i assume - is getting blocked with current public configs.

But yes, the filter could likely be changed, i just doubt it's worth the effort and time, for above mentioned reason.

well, no, it's still shown on the right but my HOST blocks the actual jump (proxo shows 404 error)

I just wanted to learn how to make the untangle work

[susax]

I meant HOSTS as in \..\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS

The untangler does work, just not for ads.

What you've posted is a two years old version of my filter.
So first i would upgrade to the current one (as posted here):

Code:

[Patterns]
Name = "Google: Multi URL Untangler [sidki jjoe]"
Active = TRUE
Multi = TRUE
URL = "$TYPE(htm)([^.]+.google|216.239|66.(102.[#0:15]|249.[#64:95])|64.233.1[#60:91])."
Bounds = "<a\s*>"
Limit = 512
Match = "<a\1("
        "(href=)\4$AV(/url\?*=(http(s|)://)\5((\6\&[a-z]=|\6%26[a-z]%3D)[#1:*]|\6))"
        "$SET(2=\4"\5$UESC(\6)")"
        "|\sonmousedown=$AV(return (clk|rwt) \(*)"
        ")(\3)"
Replace = "<a\1\2\3"

Then look at the page, notice the "Sponsored Links" above your eBay link.

Then merge this filter and see if those right links are still there:

Code:

[Patterns]
Name = "Google: Remove Ad Blocks [sidki JD]"
Active = TRUE
Multi = TRUE
URL = "$TYPE(htm)(www.google|216.239|66.(102.[#0:15]|249.[#64:95])|64.233.1[#60:91])."
Limit = 32704
Match = "<("
        ""
        "("
        "table[^>]++(width=[23][50]%$SET(#=width.)|height=40$SET(#=height.))"
        "|!-- Strip Me -->$SET(#=strip.)"
        ")"
        "("
        "*</table >(^ <table)"
        "( <div[^>]++id=$AV(tpa[0-9]+)$INEST(<div,</div)</div >$SET(#=ad-div.))+"
        "|*(????????)\2(^?)$SET(0= <!-- Strip Me -->\2)"
        ")"
        ""
        "|table ("
        "cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0> <tr> <td valign([^>]+>)+{3}Tip:$SET(#=tip.)"
        "|([^>]+>)+{6} Get the Google Toolbar$SET(#=toolbar.)"
        "|[^>]++width=$AV(100%) style="border: 1px solid$SET(#=custom-ad.)"
        ")$INEST(<table,</table)</table >"
        ""
        ")"
Replace = "\r\n<!-- PROX-S: Removed by Google Ad Links Filter (\@) -->\r\n\0"

groups.google.com still showed left side ad/links
when I added this, they also are gone

Name = "Kill: Google Groups Sponsored Links - Side (new left)"
Active = TRUE
URL = "groups.google.*/"
Limit = 12000
Match = "<table align=left cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0 id=ln style="margin-right:-3px">"
"*"
"</td> </tr>"
" </table>"
Replace = "<table align=left cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0 id=ln style="margin-right:-3px">"
"<tr valign=top>"
"<!-- this was the left side with member / new member>"
"</tr>"
"</table>"
