Ask HN: Is there a search engine that allows user blacklisting of domains?
There are certain websites with a propensity for spewing garbage that matches nearly everything I search for about a particular topic. I try my best to keep a mental blacklist of these sites, but, well, you can imagine how that goes...
- chunkles 7y agoYou can set it up so that Google can do this. It's a bit involved, but a few tutorials exist if you search for them.
- Turing_Machine 7y agoSeems like this would be easy enough to do by just excluding those sites using the search engine's own syntax (it's usually something like "-site.com" or the like). You could easily create your own OpenSearch search engine. Very little coding is required to do this, and it's supported by most major browsers. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/OpenSearch https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/OpenSearch
- Turing_Machine 7y agoWow, providing a pointer to a resource that lets you write your own code to do something gets you modded down nowadays? Alrighty then!
- dempedempe 7y agoThanks for this! I had not heard of OpenSearch.
