Search Filter

Allows you to make specified domains STAND OUT or DISAPPEAR from Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and StartPage search results.

Search Filter is a powerful Chrome extension designed to improve your search results since 2012. It allows users, especially developers, to customize their search by highlighting preferred domains and hiding unwanted ones across major search engines like Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and StartPage.

With features including support for image, video, and news searches, easy filter creation directly from search results, and syncing configurations across multiple installations, Search Filter helps you efficiently filter out irrelevant or low-quality results. It supports developer-friendly configurations for specifying domains to stand out or disappear, making repetitive API or problem-focused searches more productive. Regular updates keep it compatible with search engine changes and include performance improvements to ensure a smooth experience.
