Search Filter is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your search experience by allowing you to make specified domains stand out or disappear entirely from search results on popular engines like Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and StartPage. Ideal for developers and frequent API problem solvers, it streamlines your searches by highlighting preferred sites such as Wikipedia, StackOverflow, and GitHub, while hiding less useful or spammy domains.

With features like syncing your configurations across multiple Chrome installations and support for filtering all types of search results including images, videos, and news, Search Filter aids in efficient and clutter-free browsing. Its developer-friendly configuration lets you easily set your preferences and even pull filters from external sources. The extension focuses on minimal UI intrusion, showing its button only during Google searches for a seamless experience.

User reviews

The Search Filter Chrome extension is praised for its simplicity, customization, and ability to effectively filter undesired search results, providing a cleaner search experience. However, multiple users report it stops working properly after Google updates or when logged in, and it does not function well across all Google sections or other browsers. Users also face interface issues and wish for expanded support for other search engines. Overall, it remains a powerful tool when it works but has notable reliability and compatibility challenges.

Pros

Easy to customize with a simple interface
Effectively filters and hides unwanted or spammy search results
Works well when not logged into Google
Syncs filters across sessions or devices
Provides a powerful tool to clean up search results experience

Cons

Stops working or becomes ineffective after Google updates or when logged into Google account
Does not work on certain Google sections like videos, shopping results, sponsored ads, or Google Images
Incompatibility issues with browsers like Opera or Edge without additional settings enabled
Visibility and usability issues such as overlapping buttons or hard to read highlights
Limited support for non-Google search engines like Bing or Kagi

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.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Search Filter requires very minimum permissions.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
