Summary

Oh Swift, I knew you were trouble when Craig Federighi walked in and announced you.

Searching for code samples, tutorials, and documentation is so much harder now than it was with Objective-C. Yes, there is less content on Swift than Objective-C, but Swift is also a much more common term on the web. The Untaylored Search plugin helps cut down on irrelevant search results by automatically appending negative search terms to your query.

Start a search with 'swift' (lowercase) and you'll have the option to search with this plugin. Your query will have several commonly misleading search terms appended to it automatically.

I respect your privacy and am not collecting any search term statistics or analytics.

The following negative search terms are added to your query automatically:

  • Taylor Swift
  • Financial
  • Swift Trans
  • Car Club
  • Cycling

It works perfectly, I just wish there was an option to automatically enable it on every search (without having to hit tab first). I can't imagine a scenario, in any context, where I actually want Taylor Swift results instead of Swift (programming language) results. I would change my rating to 5 stars if there was an automatic option.

Works as advertised. Perfect for those who are looking for code examples on the internet. But do not use this extenshion if you are not interested in coding or web app developing.
