Not trying to be anti-Google at all. I searched both of those names and both of their Google+ pages came up on the first page.

The extension only adds more social links the "Related People and Pages" sidebar. Even then, it only adds links, it doesn't remove the Google+ pages. Your regular search results are not modified at all. Try searching for "movies" to get a better feel for what it actually does.

The profile URLs are:

Trey Ratcliff: https://plus.google.com/105237212888595777019/posts

Guy Kawasaki: https://plus.google.com/112374836634096795698/posts

Neither of them show up after I install your chrome extension because the "Show Personal Results" is enabled by default. Your extension does show those G+ profile pages ONLY IF I switch to "Hide Personal Results". This is a problem with the original bookmarklet as well.

I will look into this and try to modify the original script so that Personal Results remain untouched. Would you be willing to post a screenshot comparing the results with the extension on and off? I can't seem to reproduce what you are seeing.

This is the only way I could share the screenshots - sorry if they take a little long to load. Else ping me on Twitter with the same handle and I can attach using yfrog
