If you go to the CSE website and select 'Advanced' and then download annotations, you can export the list of sites you've excluded.
Further you can make the exclusion list ("annotation list") into a feed - so it is entirely possible to implement the kind of user-generated blacklist of sites which has been discussed here.
- radley 16y agoGCS is rather personalized, which makes sense. For example, I don't want experts-exchange showing up, but some people have paid for their service and want it. I'm also a Flash developer, so my list probably won't be useful for most HN readers. GCS is really easy to set up - takes only a few minutes. I spent the most time hunting down rouge sites - which was actually kinda fun and cathartic. Big tip: keep an easy-to-get-to link to the GCS Sites Control panel, so it's easy to add new sites. I've added ~40 more in the past two months.
- jimmyswimmy 16y agoIt's definitely easy to set up. I'm thinking about making a greasemonkey script to put a button next to my search results and let me block the site if I hate it, rather than go do it manually as you suggested (which is easy but takes more time than hitting a button). Alternatively I will stick to my plan to change search providers. One way or another.
