> Kagi lets you do this and personalize it as you desire. Kagi shill here. Are they finally applying filters and operands to image searches? Asking because it was a tough year seeing Pinterest as top filter choice and top result in images (when set as filter=block). (edit: I just tried searching->image: beautiful quilt patterns. I didn't spot any Pinterest results!) I have never understood why DDG, etc steadfastly refuse to obey operands in image searches. Most days. Every blue moon operands seem to work. I think. sidebar: Yesterday I saw Yandex obey quotes in a web search. It was the 1st time I've seen that.

    I sincerely appreciate the diligence. I really did see Pinterest results over a longish span. I may well have only noted their presence and not their absence - skewing my perspective. Overall, my experience is very positive. I'm on many PCs throughout the day and I miss Kagi when it isn't there.

      Pinterest serves pages in many domains (different TLDs). It is better to use a regex to block them.

        I would if Kagi could. I blocked them all manually.

        Kagi doesn't provide it natively because of performance issues. They contributed to ublacklist to add kagi search. You can use it with regex and matching rules > If you need advanced blocking features, such as specifying rules by match patterns (e.g., ://.example.com/*) or by regular expressions (e.g., /example\.(net|org)/), the uBlacklist browser extension includes support for Kagi Search. https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/website-info-personalized-results.html https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/website-info-personalize...

        That's interesting. I'll dig it up. Thank you.

You can also do this for free with uBlackList: https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist This has greatly enhanced my Google experience - easy to ban content farms, AI-generator websites from appearing in Google Images etc.
