How to make the toolbar more useful for both Google and the user

I enjoy using the Google Toolbar. It's always there and very convenient. I also sometimes click on the voting buttons - but I have no idea what google does with that info.

I would like to see Google ad an "exclude" button next to the voting button. This would allow me to exclude the current web site that I'm visiting from all future searches. I would do this if a search (from anywhere - not just Google) took me to a scraper site or site that I am not interested in.

I would also like to have the option to share my excluded list with Google. (Obviously some people wouldn't want to share that stuff with anybody.)

So my locally held list of sites to exclude from future searches would be available to the Google data base and Google would then be able to see which sites were being excluded from searches most often.

This may help them refine searching techniques and aid in locating sites that should be de-indexed more quickly.

Just some of my brain pouring out....
