Anything ordinary Firefox users can do about seo/spam?
I encounter a lot of seo/search engine spoofing/spam when searching online. (Some of these are wordlists for dictionaries, which have legit purposes, but which break search engines. Some of these are strings of words and phrases, without obvious purposes, which break search engines.) Is there anything ordinary users can do about this?

no If just wondering, no If wanting info : All you need is the truth in description and keywords. A google webmaster account, a bing webmaster account. http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/

I have some basic knowledge, and keywords, but the gorram seo/spammers can fill their pages with the same keywords, and it's hard to find relevant pages.
Besides Firefox, or another web browser, and besides animation-blocking/migraine-prevention extensions, what other code do I need to search the web without having to sift through seo/spam and wordlists?
How would a "webmaster account" help search the web without having to sift through seo/spam and wordlists?
What do any of these links have to do with filtering out seo/spam or wordlists?
Different search engines have different methods of pushing abusive pages down in the results. Those pages will always be out there trying to improve their position, so it's a constant battle. Personally, I don't run across that kind of page very often, but it could be a function of the kinds of searches you run.
If you are constantly getting junk results in all your searches, I would wonder whether an add-on or intermediary is modifying your search results. Can you rule out that kind of problem?
