Is there any way to disable SearchWiki from within our iGoogle
account?

I haven't seen any way to disable SearchWiki yet (and I do hope that
is an option soon). However, I saw a comment on a blog about an
addition you can add to the page for a search querey that will display
the page of results in the original non-searchwiki format:

&hl=all

I played around with this, and made my default homepage (normally
iGoogle) to have this appended to the url for it:

 This:
http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en
 Becomes:
http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en&hl=all

 Subsequent searches from this page did not display the SearchWiki
buttons and wotnot. However, this does make your iGoogle page a bit ye
olde school, and many of the default links are missing (ie, the link
to google News at the top of the iGoogle page). So, not a perfect way
to get around SearchWiki, but this method is an ok-enough work around
for now.

As a side note, I believe this method currently works due to use an un-
localised version of some google pages and functionality.

Thanks for the info - hopefully they don't leave this on by default
forever.

How to get rid of it:

1. Add "&hl=all" to your querystring or
2. Goto http://www.google.com/reviews/w and restore all the results
you modified.
