Since everyone in this thread wants to jump down OP's throat about the quality of his web site, another interesting search engine is millionshort.com, which allows you to filter out the top N web sites from the results of your search. It's a great tool for looking past sites with good SEO; all you have to do is fiddle with the value of N.
For example, searching for "electronic music box" as /u/ajnin suggested, with the top 100K web sites removed from the results, filters out the following:
> These 23 sites were removed from your results:
> alibaba.com (1 result removed)
> aliexpress.com (1 result removed)
> allaboutcircuits.com (1 result removed)
> amazon.com (2 result removed)
> apple.com (1 result removed)
> bestreviews.com (1 result removed)
> ebay.com (1 result removed)
> etsy.com (2 result removed)
> facebook.com (1 result removed)
> instructables.com (2 result removed)
> lightinthebox.com (2 result removed)
> lumberjocks.com (1 result removed)
> mapquest.com (1 result removed)
> reverb.com (1 result removed)
> twitter.com (1 result removed)
> wikipedia.org (1 result removed)
> yelp.com (1 result removed)
> youtube.com (2 result removed)
And the top result ends up being https://midiguy.com/ https://midiguy.com/.
- blisterpeanuts 4y agoThat's an outstanding concept. One problem though: wouldn't it also filter out high quality curated results?
- H8crilA 4y agoYes, such as Wikipedia, for example.
- synicalx 4y agoI assume the idea is this is a secondary search, after Google has failed once again to return anything other than Etsy and Pinterest results. It also seems fairly customisable, like I can search and include all results but choose to remove ecommerce, or sites with live chat (weird filter, but I like it).
- mdoms 4y agoMillion Short also has an option to remove only e-commerce results which is invaluable if you still want results from sites like Twitter, Wikipedia and YouTube but don't want online shopping spam.
- consp 4y agoWould this also work for the fake-sites-stealing-text-to-look-legit sites since they quickly end up in the top results?
