Description from store Search Filter - improving your search results since 2012! Changelog 2.1.15 fixes filtering on Google 2.1.14 fixes filtering on DDG 2.1.13 renamed extension to Search Filter 2.1.12 fixes dark mode on Google 2.1.11 fixes bug where extension would freeze if highlight/hide clicked before setup 2.1.9 fixes filtering on Google 2.1.8 fixes filtering on Google image search 2.1.7 fixes filtering on Google 2.1.6 added support for StartPage 2.1.5 fixes filtering on Google News 2.1.0 easily create filters directly from search results 2.0.0 reduced permissions, improved syncing, external filters, support for all searches (images, videos, news included), and initial support for DuckDuckGo and Bing. 1.0.11 bugfix 1.0.10 improved performance 1.0.9 far more efficient and now compatible with Firefox 1.0.6 syncing is working again (SSL'd connection to sync server) 1.0.5 updated to support new version of Google Search 1.0.4 added support for https://encrypted.google.com/ 1.0.3 significant performance improvements 1.0.2 added support for Google Instant About Search Filter This extension is mainly targeted at developers who run API or problem focused searches over and over again. There are usually a handful of sites whose results we prefer, and a handful of sites whose results are poor or worthless. Search Filter allows you to specify (in developer-friendly fashion) sites whose results you would like see highlighted and sites whose results you never want to see. In case you use multiple installations of Chrome, this extension allows you to sync your configuration across all installations. Here is a sample configuration: # Make these domains stand out in results +en.wikipedia.org +stackoverflow.com +github.com +api.rubyonrails.org # SPAM - never show these results experts-exchange.com # Pull filters from external source @https://clobapi.herokuapp.com/default-filters.txt To avoid littering the GUI with buttons, the Search Filter button only appears when running searches on Google.

  • (2025-02-18) Hyoroemon Meto: Find this from a superuser 11y ago. 2025 still working where is this all this year 😭 This is great because it work at basic level. I wish it can do domain+header to hide result from specific writer.
  • (2025-01-26) NekoTowel: Easy to customize, simple interface, I like it
  • (2024-12-20) AntiSane Jim: Damn thing worked great until Google started to suppress it.
  • (2024-10-27) Daniel: Doesn't work with videos section, i have filter setup for tiktok, yet it shows videos from tiktok. Otherwise it works great.
  • (2024-09-25) JP: It's an awesome extension, and I'm glad it got revived. Unfortunately since I switched from Google to the awesome Kagi search engine, I can't use this extension anymore. Hoping someday the dev will add Kagi to the supported search engines.
  • (2024-08-01) Jimmy Kultima: Haven't gotten it to work yet - I am using another plugin that blocks results from showing and the button from that plugin and this plugin overlap. Is it possible to change the button position?

  • (2024-02-14) Monica Nallin: i understand this is a Chrome extension but it doesnt work on Opera i believe because the url field might not allow custom buttons so the Search Filter button is not there and i cant configure anything.

  • (2023-12-10) Milan Joaquin: Finally a great way to hide garbage on the internet like Quora and AI clickbait. Works and syncs. Alternative stopped working, so this filled in perfectly.
  • (2023-10-31) dtr. B.: The point is: It does only work in google, if not logged in there. (Had to log in to tell this, but logging out now.

  • (2023-08-16) Not Sure: I don't see the button on the webpage when I search. I'm on Chrome, Windows 10 latest version, 1920x1080p, 100% zoom, using Google.com's dark theme. All extensions are disabled except for "Search Filter". You mention, "You can more easily create filters directly in search results by clicking "highlight" and "hide". I see neither of these buttons.

  • (2023-01-05) SMAXSOST: The extension still working I use it since day one, I use it in opera GX but I'm sure it's working in all browsers (opera, chrome, edge...) just don't forget that some extensions need the option "Allow access to search page results" checked, to find this option right click your extension and click manage extension, now look for the option in the menu, after you check the option restart your browser or just refresh your pages, now the extension will work as intended ^^

  • (2022-09-17) Aarvys: It doesn't seem to work on DuckDuckGo. It seems like it's trying to work ("Search Filter is hiding 62 results"), but the results that I wanted to be filtered out weren't filtered out. The "highlight" and "hide" buttons also do not show up on DuckDuckGo, so I had to manually enter them in and wasn't sure if I was doing it right. I switched to Google and it worked fine. The concept is cool and I love that you can differentiate between websites you want highlighted and websites that you don't want to see at all, but I wish it worked with DuckDuckGo. I'm going to keep looking for an extension that works with DuckDuckGo, but I'll keep this one in mind in case it ever fully supports DuckDuckGo!

  • (2022-06-13) Joseph Hale: Neat concept! Works very well with Google, but currently failing with Bing (it looks like Bing wraps all its search results with a query back to Bing that later redirects to the site). I'd also appreciate an option to "de-emphasize" search results without removing them (perhaps a "-" sign prefix for each entry?) I look forward to continuing to use this!
