There's not a "-1 button" but you can block search results in a couple ways:
- Install the Personal Blocklist extension in Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nolijncfnkgaikbjbdaogikpmpbdcdef https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nolijncfnkgaikbjbd...
- Click on a search result, then click back, and you'll see a "block example.com" for that snippet.
The first option is easy and always shows block links; the second option is server-side, so the blocks work on different browsers.
- SoftwareMaven 16y agoI love the "block" functionality, but it is really a different feature. Block says "this site is spam, don't show it to me anymore." "-1" says "this result isn't relevant to what I'm searching for, alter the future results accordingly." Regardless, I love what Google is doing here in taking individual consideration into account.
- happyfeet 16y agoThis is good interpretation of the functionality is meant to be used. However, we have seen several cases where the usage of the functionality slowly drives how the feature is morphed and I am guessing Google is experimenting with the button initially to see how the users like it and would try to weave other functionalities around it.
