Notice how often you get '404 Not Found" when accessing a website from a search engine? Don't wait for someone else to clean up the mess. YOU can do it so easily.

Highlight the URL with your cursor and copy it. Now go back to the 'submit URL' page of the search engine you were using and submit that URL. This should force the search engine's robot to try to access the page, fail, and delete it from its database.

If everyone did this, the search engines would become much more useful.

You use them for free--do your bit to keep them tidy!
