I would really love for Google to provide advanced search capabilities or filters to superusers who know EXACTLY what they are searching for. I wouldn't even mi

  Have you checked out Kagi? It’s exactly what you’re looking for and more. They have a blog post on the front page rn about their integration with Wolfram Alpha.

    The more I read about kagi on hn the more it feels like organized shill campaign

      We just had our daily stand up and I was asked to downvote you. Hi!

  Just Pay Kagi, they already have all of it and it works, it's in production. Personally, I think they deserve the money, they offered a better paid product and never sold advertisements, which I think is a scummy model.

  That is a niche product, Google doesn't want to have niche products for some reason. Google is great at making niche products, but leadership doesn't like them and always shuts them down...

  Google has been A/B testing filters. I had it for a single search before it was gone never to be found again.

    Oh why ... it is a good idea. I guess we should be glad that Google make bad product decisions though, to hurt the company.

  They used to give users much more control—the product has been deliberately crippled for a long time now.

  That's a niche demand with a low chance of serving general audiences. SGE could be a potentially suitable user interface for this use case but I don't think they will integrate it into their entire stack anytime soon given the technical difficulty...

  I would really love Google to let me ban certain domains like photo banks which feel attacked by Google searches. I’m not paying Google any money though. And $10 a month is over my budget

    used to be possible around 2011-2012 but worked too well so was obviously removed.
  • lordwarnut 3y ago
    Might I suggest the plugin uBlacklist. I use it to block a whole bunch of domains from google search that I don't want to see anymore.

      You are an angel!

        You don't need to use a separate extension to filter out search results. You can use this tool to generate filters for uBlock Origin: https://letsblock.it/filters/search-results https://letsblock.it/filters/search-results

          Is there a cli tool for that? I have over 300 domains in my ublacklist list.
          • ReadCarlBarks 3y ago
            You can try using ChatGPT or a similar tool to apply the same pattern to all domains in your list with a prompt like: "Use this pattern: example.com##a:has(.b) to create separate rules for these domains: example.net example.org ..."
