One of the best things about Kagi search (https://kagi.com) is you can ban domains from search results. Forbes was one of the first I entered!

View on HN

The second best feature is that you can specify rewrite rules for URLs in results, using regular expressions. The example one is the most important one for me: rewriting reddit.com to old.reddit.com.

You can disable New Reddit in reddit’s preferences. That puts old reddit back on reddit.com. No need for a redirect.

If you have an account. Rewrite works always.

You can do a similar thing for Google with the uBlackList extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublacklist/pncfbmia...

This should come preconfigured with pinterest and quora blacklisted.

Haha :-)

I always feel bad if I click on any of those sites.

Indeed, but AFAIK you can't do the opposite (make results from certain sites show up higher in the results), which you can do with Kagi.

Even without having Forbes explicitly blocked or downranked, their article shows up well below the fold on Kagi: https://kagi.com/search?q=best+pet+insurance&r=us&sh=ac3i1h1... (shared link, you don't need your own subscription for this preview)

Their "collapse listicles" setting is probably one of the best features when trying to search for products, they squeeze all the listicles together in their own list (usually just below the fold). If you want them, they're there, and if you don't, they take up hardly any space.

and pinterest; scourge of the web

quora is even worse

I had honestly forgotten it existed until you mentioned it. Thanks, Kagi!
