Facebook engineer Blake Ross has led the creation of a web tool which allows users to by-pass Google's controversial Search Plus Your World feature.

The 'focus on the user' project which is compatible with Chrome, IE and Firefox replaces the Google+ inspired results with more prominent results from the social web.

The fix is made possible by a piece of code, or bookmarklet, called "don't be evil" written by Ross and a team of engineers over the weekend.

Now, by dragging the bookmarklet into your bookmarks bar, you can update the Google+ social search results with more important links from the likes of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare and Tumblr.

Google+ content will remain part of the process, but social results are shown in a more organic heirarchy based on Google's own algorithms with no bias to any one service.

More inclusive

The aim of the project, which Blake and his team created independently of Facebook, is to prove that Google can be more inclusive with its Search Plus Your World feature, which has sparked controversy and anger across the web.

The search giant had said that it has prioritised results from G+, despite Facebook and Twitter entries being far more popular, as it wasn't able to get enough data from those social networks.

The 'focus on the user' project shows otherwise.

You can see a demonstration of the project in the video below and also find out how to get it.

A new survey out suggests that the UK is more willing than ever before to part with its cash when it comes to streaming premium movies, but prefers on-demand television to be free.

These stats come for KPMG which has found that 64 per cent of the UK would now spend money on movie streaming - this is an increase of 4 per cent between March and October 2011.

This good news for Lovefilm and Netflix, two of the bigger services currently flogging movie streaming on a subscription basis.

Encouraging message

When it comes to television, though, it seems that we have been spoiled with the iPlayer and are not yet ready to spend money on TV streams.

Just 30 per cent said they would delve into their bank accounts to stream a TV show, an increase of 3 per cent since September 2010.

Liz Bales, Director-General of the Industry Trust for IP Awareness, the UK film and TV industry's copyright education body, said to TechRadar about the findings: "KMPG's research chimes with our own, which has consistently shown that the majority of people are willing to pay for film, TV and video content online.

"The findings send an encouraging message that UK consumers do value creative content and appreciate that there is a need to pay for it, whether it's on or offline.

"The UK audio-visual industry is working hard to provide a growing array of affordable digital services that meet consumers' needs. Today there are more than 30 official sites offering film and TV alone."
