Not sure I see the problem.

One of the complaints people have about google is that if not used properly, it can generate a lot of useless results. Indeed, this is the major focus of Microsoft's current Bing advertising campaign.

Now, Google have built in tools to help users refine their searches, to produce more useful results. Is this not a good thing? Not everyone is skilled at creating good search queries.

If you don't use it, what have you *actually* lost by it being there? About 1 inch of the left hand side of your screen. Not really worth bothering about IMO.
