All the stores that have been spidered (amazon.com etc) Googles own sites (youtube.com, images.google.com, etc)

I'm glad this is a hypothetical question because I find both of the above very useful. I often suffix "amazon" or "youtube" on to a search - saves me actually having to go to those sites to perform a search in most cases.

site:amazon.com

that works just fine and it would keep the rest of the search results clean.

Doesn't quite roll off the fingers as well as amazon or wikipedia though. Anyway, those entries are as valuable as anything else. If I'm searching for the title of a book, why shouldn't stores that sell the book come up?

It sounds like some people in this thread would prefer non-profit communist Google, rather than a proper search engine.
