uBlacklist maybe? if you use Google for search

Try https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist, otherwise Kagi also has a similar feature.

ublacklist works with many search engines. A little bit of very easy effort goes a LONG way to cleaning up your results.

And here's two bonus things you need if you make use of youtube

Sponsorblock. As it says on the tin, automatically skips sponsor sections.

Dearrow. An open source and crowdsourced tool replace youtubes stupid fucking clickbait title cards, and replaces many titles with better ones. You can contribute!

Once again, preaching the uBlacklist extension to block *://answers.microsoft.com/* from search results.

or you could just https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist

You can use an extension to add that. uBlackList is a Chrome and Firefox extension that lets you block sites from appearing in search results for 10 different search engines (including Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and Brave search).

It turns out you can make it all the way to become president of Harvard [1] while ignoring this rule so it is questionable whether it is as set in stone as you make it out to be, at least in certain disciplines.

In a way these models are a perfect mirror of the current academic climate. They plagiarise without remorse, they follow the latest identity-politics diktat to a point and make up 'facts' when needed to reach a desired narrative. Google Gemini is the latest example [2] of where this leads.

Given that it is plausible that models like these will soon be used in educational settings this is a recipe for disaster. The same goes for the trend to replace search engine results with 'interpreted' results in which LLMs take up the same role as Winston in 1984: Winston works in the Ministry of Truth where he alters historical records to fit the needs of the Party.

It is time for a decentralised distributed search engine which limits itself to pure search, something like YaCy [3]. Something to replace Winstonian search engines like Google and Bing (et al.).

Here you go: https://yacy.net

I remember https://yacy.net/ but the big problem of this project was java and had not implementations in others languages. I mean it as imagine torrent was only in perl.

Admarus is similar as Yacy but aims to be distributed where Yacy is federated. Both are made for the web

You should check out https://yacy.net: a global, P2P web search engine, where each peer can build and share its own index, etc.

I also have an instance of Yacy installed, which I use to index the entire system, giving me my own private, internal search engine.
