I wish google would automatically put MDN at the top of search results. As it is I have to scroll through 4 or so other links before getting the MDN result.

- theandrewbailey 8y agoUse DuckDuckGo and !mdn, e.g.: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!mdn+regexp https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!mdn+regexp
- SimeVidas 8y agoor just mdn.io/regexp
- amelius 8y agoAlso I wish I could just exclude any given site from my search results. Google insists on having my information so they can "serve me content tailored to my wishes". Well, Google ... drop the w3schools already!
- duxup 8y agoSadly it seems pretty clear that AI, algorithms, or just any custom content systems ... will be directed AT us now, not FOR us.
- kevingrahl 8y agoYou can easily do that. If you wanted to exclude example.com just add -example.com to your search query.
- syn0byte 8y agoJust add "site:-domain.com" to any given search query.
- XCabbage 8y agoYeah, but that approach is annoying and pointless. Typing that is no faster than scrolling past the w3schools results when they appear, so why would I do it? I Google loads of stuff each day. I want to drop w3schools from all my results, automatically.
- yesenadam 8y agoThen make the default search on your startpage add that to queries automatically. p.s. I mostly learnt how to do that on w3schools. :-)
- ben509 8y agoGoogle used to let you ban certain sites from your results, and stopped doing that. I'm using this one and it's quite nice for DDG: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ddg-hide-unwanted-results/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ddg-hide-unwa...
- cjohansson 8y agoI think DuckDuckGo does this already
- ritchiea 8y agoI usually add "mdn" to my search when I'm querying a HTML/CSS/JS topic.
- kalev 8y agoYou could add 'mdn' as the first argument in your search query. That works pretty well.
- gilrain 8y agoMDN is reliably on top and often called out in a meta box on Duck Duck Go.
- mhfs 8y agoI wish too. But looks like w3schools display google ads while MDN does not. Makes me wonder if that’s built into the ranking algo some how.

- matt-attack 8y agoYou just made my day. I've always been so frustrated with google that they would consistently place w3schools higher than mdn. I found it shocking and very much un-google. Typically their search result priority is exactly what I'd want.
