And well la.....it has been hacked! Thanks to Research Buzz at http://www.researchbuzz.org/archives/002060.shtml.
http://www.mygooglesearch.com Does exactly this with a hacked Google API.
Here's how it works: run a search (note that the top query box is for an API key; leave it alone unless you've got a key to enter; you'll mess up your search otherwise.) You'll get ten results via the Google API. Results will have a checkbox next to them. Check the results that are *not* relevant (seems counterintuitive; how about having the boxes prechecked and instructing the user to uncheck the ones that aren't relevant?) and click the "Refine by Example" button at the bottom of the page. The page will refresh showing a new ten results with notes at the top defining what search terms were added.
