Nowadays, when I search for things, the results are often clearly pages that have come from a program scrapping sites and then merging them into one page. You can tell because the pages are not really coherent and quickly start to repeat themselves. I assume they are getting money through ads on the pages, though I never actually see the ads because of my blockers. I wish there was a button in the browser that I could click to report the page as spam to all search engines.

- CamperBob2 4y agoThe way it should work is that the spam reports are used only to filter the results you see.

- TeMPOraL 4y agoThat's precisely why I started to use and pay for Kagi - it fetches search results from Google and Bing, but allows to prioritize, deprioritize, pin or block specific domains in your search results. I'm still surprised no one else seems to be offering this feature.
- LAC-Tech 4y agouBlacklist is really good for that. Just click "block this site" in the search results. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublacklist/pncfbmialoiaghdehhbnbhkkgmjanfhe https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublacklist/pncfbmi...
- MandieD 4y agoI don't think it reports to any other search engines, and am not sure it affects any but your own subsequent results, but Kagi has a feedback scale on each result: "block", "lower", "normal", "raise", and "pin".
