If Google truly cared about improving search they would reinstitute the “block search results from this domain” feature that they used to have. They’d learn really quick which sites were relevant as I banished the ones you mentioned and many others to the nether realm. Next up would be recipe sites and blog posts that spend twenty minutes getting to the point so they can throw in as many SEO optimized keywords as they can and hit targets for length.

- hundchenkatze 6y agoDDG can exclude by domain: -site:pinterest.com
- 0xffff2 6y agoYou can do the same in Google, but a durable option that I didn't have to type into the search field every time would be extremely useful.
- woodgrainz 6y agoIt never left. You've always been able to restrict domains on Google. It's extremely useful.
- woodgrainz 6y agoYou can still remove results from specific sites. In the Google search box, you can use the minus sign (-) to eliminate results from specific queries or domains. And if you use the site: operator, you can restrict results from specific domains. So to eliminate pinterest.com results from any search (normal or image search) just search like this: tallest bridges -site:pinterest.com
- treis 6y agoI added an extension to chrome that automatically adds this but unfortunately it seems to break Maps search.
- JohnJamesRambo 6y agoNo it used to have a little x by the result and you never had to see that domain again. That’s my recollection.
