Like Amatulic, I'm thinking that private network addresses (10.x, 172.16.x and 192.168.x) should be excluded from search results UNLESS the user explicitly *includes* their local subnet. Sure, I have a SOHO network on 192.168.0.x. But I'd rather explicitly include that one small IP address range then to have half my search results be from private network addresses that do not appear to resolve to an accessable host on an outside network.

Of course, if the UI had not been improved to omit the host IP address in the first place.... boy, I dislike it when software designers remove a feature instead of giving me a CHOICE.
