598227 2007-10-05 11:20:00 Is there any tweak that allows you to specify sites that you don't want ever coming up in Google searches? I know about the minus sign trick, but it's tedious to always have to type it. MeOldMate (12871)
598228 2007-10-05 16:51:00 Dont think so. Just use some kind of web filtering software. Or something that can block whatever websites.

If you're talking about certain sites.

598232 2007-10-05 18:44:00 I mean for instance where you are looking for where in NZ some specific machine model is sold from (or tech info on it) and you get flooded with trademe links for people selling second-hand.

Or I'm looking for an answer to a technical problem and get thousands of returns from a "pay per view" site I have no intention of joining - can't find the wheat in amongst all the chaff.

598233 2007-10-05 22:08:00 Yes - in that case add, for example, "-trademe" to your search terms and it won't display anything containing that word.

Use it like this (eg):

"8800GTX -trademe -ebay"

598234 2007-10-06 00:25:00 Or maybe visit New Zealand Search engine sites as a secondary recourse: Try: New Zealand Search, NZS, NewZealandNZ for example. kahawai chaser (3545)
