Infernal list engines

Quick thought for the day- I'm for ever using google to search and spending most of my time trying to avoid list engines\link farms (i.e. websites that simple list other websites) .

What about adding a filter to the search engine to filter out results where the page they point to has more than (a user definable level) number of hyperlinks from it.

Seems to me that most "normal" websites don't have more than say 100 links in a page point out side their site.. yes I would loose a few useful ones - but if I could switch the filter on and off at will at least I could get them all if I was desperate.

Another set I would also filter out are those with domain names www.soming.rubish.com where rubbish is some (normally) short set of random characters.
