    Great post John. Liked that you added a screencast. "Hey guys. Here's the deal." haha, ballin.

    Thanks Ryan. It was a fun discovery.

    Matt McGee covered this in November, http://searchengineland.com/googleplus-slowly-invading-googles-main-search-results-102416 But it looks as if things have changed from when just clicking on an author link would enable the custom search, though clicking on the More... one does. The bookmarklet looks handy.

    Thanks for letting me know, Danny. I guess I missed that one, and the search does still work but the name being in the search box is now gone except when you are in an Incognito window (which may connote the session thing Matt was talking about) so you would have no idea that you were in the search. Also, I looked for your comment on my site but didn't find it?

    Matt McGee covered this in November. My comment with a link got held in moderation, but if you search for "Google+ Is Slowly Invading Google’s Main Search Results," you'll find his article.

    Nice work John - the addition of the bookmarklet is awesome and gooing the extra mile is what makes this special...

    Excellent tool but I can't make it work on Firefox, does it work for you? Here it only works on Chrome I rarely use.

    Interesting read, Google's definitely playing their social media card.
