I wish there was a hackable search engine where you could e.g. write a python script that moves all websites down that have ads or appear in some list.

  This is an interesting idea! Would you be interested in doing with with: Wikipedia, reddit, stack overflow?

    anything that results from ignoring a specified word count from the query terms. i.e. ignore 50% of the search query, go to the back of the line

      ??? I cannot parse that sentence.

        let suppose you ask google for "fresh baked bread" search results give many results for fresh, but none include baked or bread. this means less than 50% of the search terms are being honoured for first in line. so ---browser app, please send all results with less than 50% to the end of the line, until the results show 50% or more relevance.

  You could achieve something similar with a browser extension like uBlacklist [1] with community-driven lists. [1]: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublacklist/pncfbmialoiaghdehhbnbhkkgmjanfhe https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublacklist/pncfbmi...

    I know of uBlacklist, and it's nice, but I think python scripting can be more powerful than a simple Blacklist.

      What would you want to achieve with Python scripting that you can’t with a simple blacklist (which can be generated using Python)?
