I just wish search engines would let me block sites. There are maybe a dozen SEO land grabs in my domain that are trashing my search results and provide no value.
- jpindar 7y agoThere are browser add-ons that do that.
- inetknght 7y agoI think search engines need to realize the value of raising their results' quality by allowing users to tell them which sites they think are scummy.
- vntok 7y agoMake it an easy-to-click report button and pretty much every site whose politics I disagree with will get a downvote... every article by a person I disagree with as well. The question is: how useful is that to the search engine, or indeed to myself?
- stordoff 7y ago> pretty much every site whose politics I disagree with will get a downvote If this happens to all sites, wouldn't only the poorer sites stand out? I don't see why one strand of politics would be significantly more likely to downvote.
- qtplatypus 7y agoThe more extreme the politics the more able you are to rally the troops for report bombing. You can see this on sites like YouTube.
- GraemeL 7y agoI use a user script called Google Hit Hider by Domain that adds this functionality to pretty much every major search engine. Can't imagine searching without it these days.
- cottonseed 7y agoThis is perfect. Perma-ban, so sweet. Thanks GraemeL! Too bad search engines aren't using this to improve search results.
- jacques_chester 7y agoGoogle used to do this, but removed it at some point. As others have noted the same effect is achieveable with browser extensions.
- preinheimer 7y agoI miss blocking w3schools, now i tend to append `mdn` to my searches.
- jacques_chester 7y agoLikewise.
- tlack 7y agoI'm trying that, and upvoting, on my little search engine project: https://glorp.co https://glorp.co
- newsbinator 7y agoThe concept is interesting. The search I tried wasn't helpful: https://glorp.co/Search/vue%20vs%20svelte https://glorp.co/Search/vue%20vs%20svelte
- tlack 7y agoThanks for the feedback! I see a few interesting results on the page that seem relevant to the query (like the jsreport.io link). What did you hope to see that you didn't?
- newsbinator 7y agoThe first n results were not relevant, and Google's were.
