Google plus uses https (exclusively, I think) so try filtering https://plus.google.com/\*
If you want to filter both http:// and https:// you can use http*://

Not too obvious. Maybe easy checkboxes: "filter Google [news | images | plus| maps] from google search" ?

Ok, converted this to a feature request for more clear filtering options.
Using a * as a wildcard character is quite common among computer-people but perhaps is not clear to others. I can change the examples and wording to explain it a bit better.
I don't want to make it checkboxes because that limits the flexibility a lot.
