Google Simple
For the "Well, if I wanted it, someone else might file:"

I created a Firefox searchbox plugin called "Google Simple," which uses a Google API interface that displays simplified query results in lists of hyperlinked titles only: no description, cache links, green url, nada. Just the title. It's not a hack or a transformation. Google provides the feature so that results can be integrated into a sidebar (like SeaMonkey), but I find it helpful as a general option when I want a title without wading through descriptions, or when my search necessitates visual pattern matching, or whenever when I want a simple, quick, clean experience.
If you're using Firefox 2 or Internet Explorer 7 (or something newer), you can install the Google Simple search plugin it by visiting my homepage (http://jasonbentley.org). Your search box should automatically detect the plugin.

The search box displays results in list of 100 with SafeSearch turned off.
