# SearchCleaner > Automatically adds your preset text (e.g. -temu -pinterest) to search queries so you can filter out sites you don’t want. Works on Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and 40+ other search engines. Canonical page: [https://chrome-stats.com/d/searchcleaner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/searchcleaner) ## Overview - **ID:** `searchcleaner` - **Platform:** Firefox - **Type:** Firefox add-on - **Status:** Available - **Publisher:** Yanchi - **Category:** search-tools - **Daily users:** 4 - **Weekly downloads:** 2 - **Version:** 1.2.5 - **Last updated:** 2026-02-19 - **First published:** 2026-02-16 - **Size:** 3.91 MB - **Data as of:** 2026-09-09 - **Store listing:** [Firefox Add-ons Store](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchcleaner/) ## Description SearchCleaner keeps your search results focused by appending preset text to your queries. Add terms like -temu -pinterest -reddit (or any you choose) so search engines filter out those domains. Features Preset list — Define multiple presets and turn each on or off with one click. Many search engines — Works on Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Ecosia, Startpage, Qwant, Yandex, Baidu, and dozens more. Custom presets — Add your own exclude text and combine several at once. Custom sites — Support any search site that uses a query parameter (e.g. ?q=). In-page indicator — On search pages, a small panel shows status and lets you toggle the extension and presets without opening the popup. Re-run search — One click to re-run the current search with your active presets applied. Sync — Settings and presets sync across your devices (Firefox sync). Privacy No data collection. Presets and settings stay in your browser; nothing is sent to external servers. How it works When you visit a supported search engine and run a query, SearchCleaner appends your active preset text to the query (e.g. shoes becomes shoes -temu -froogo), so results from those domains are reduced or removed. You can enable or disable the extension and each preset at any time. ## Rankings - #49,001 — Overall - #150 — cleaner - #226 — pinterest ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `storage` ### Host permissions - `https://*.amazon.co.uk/*` - `https://*.amazon.de/*` - `https://*.amazon.fr/*` - `https://*.amazon.jp/*` - `https://*.google.co.uk/*` - `https://*.google.de/*` - `https://*.google.fr/*` - `https://*.google.jp/*` - `https://*.search.yahoo.com/*` - `https://*.wikipedia.org/*` - `https://amazon.com/*` - `https://andisearch.com/*` - `https://aol.com/*` - `https://ask.com/*` - `https://baidu.com/*` - `https://bing.com/*` - `https://dogpile.com/*` - `https://duckduckgo.com/*` - `https://ecosia.org/*` - `https://gigablast.com/*` - `https://givero.com/*` - `https://google.com/*` - `https://iask.ai/*` - `https://komo.ai/*` - `https://metacrawler.com/*` - `https://metager.org/*` - `https://mojeek.com/*` - `https://oceanhero.today/*` - `https://perplexity.ai/*` - `https://phind.com/*` - `https://qwant.com/*` - `https://search.aol.com/*` - `https://search.brave.com/*` - `https://search.bus-hit.me/*` - `https://search.com/*` - `https://search.daum.net/*` - `https://search.naver.com/*` - `https://search.seznam.cz/*` - `https://search.yahoo.com/*` - `https://searx.be/*` - `https://searx.work/*` - `https://sogou.com/*` - `https://startpage.com/*` - `https://swisscows.com/*` - `https://tiktok.com/*` - `https://wikipedia.org/*` - `https://www.amazon.com/*` - `https://www.andisearch.com/*` - `https://www.ask.com/*` - `https://www.baidu.com/*` - `https://www.bing.com/*` - `https://www.daum.net/*` - `https://www.dogpile.com/*` - `https://www.duckduckgo.com/*` - `https://www.ecosia.org/*` - `https://www.gigablast.com/*` - `https://www.givero.com/*` - `https://www.google.com/*` - `https://www.iask.ai/*` - `https://www.komo.ai/*` - `https://www.metacrawler.com/*` - `https://www.metager.org/*` - `https://www.mojeek.com/*` - `https://www.oceanhero.today/*` - `https://www.perplexity.ai/*` - `https://www.phind.com/*` - `https://www.qwant.com/*` - `https://www.search.com/*` - `https://www.search.naver.com/*` - `https://www.seznam.cz/*` - `https://www.sogou.com/*` - `https://www.startpage.com/*` - `https://www.swisscows.com/*` - `https://www.tiktok.com/*` - `https://www.wikipedia.org/*` - `https://www.yandex.com/*` - `https://www.yandex.ru/*` - `https://www.you.com/*` - `https://www.youtube.com/*` - `https://yandex.com/*` - `https://yandex.ru/*` - `https://you.com/*` - `https://youtube.com/*` - `https://*/*` ### Content script matches - `*.amazon.co.uk` - `*.amazon.de` - `*.amazon.fr` - `*.amazon.jp` - `*.google.co.uk` - `*.google.de` - `*.google.fr` - `*.google.jp` - `*.search.yahoo.com` - `*.wikipedia.org` - `amazon.com` - `andisearch.com` - `aol.com` - `ask.com` - `baidu.com` - `bing.com` - `dogpile.com` - `duckduckgo.com` - `ecosia.org` - `gigablast.com` - `givero.com` - `google.com` - `iask.ai` - `komo.ai` - `metacrawler.com` - `metager.org` - `mojeek.com` - `oceanhero.today` - `perplexity.ai` - `phind.com` - `qwant.com` - `search.aol.com` - `search.brave.com` - `search.bus-hit.me` - `search.com` - `search.daum.net` - `search.naver.com` - `search.seznam.cz` - `search.yahoo.com` - `searx.be` - `searx.work` - `sogou.com` - `startpage.com` - `swisscows.com` - `tiktok.com` - `wikipedia.org` - `www.amazon.com` - `www.andisearch.com` - `www.ask.com` - `www.baidu.com` - `www.bing.com` - `www.daum.net` - `www.dogpile.com` - `www.duckduckgo.com` - `www.ecosia.org` - `www.gigablast.com` - `www.givero.com` - `www.google.com` - `www.iask.ai` - `www.komo.ai` - `www.metacrawler.com` - `www.metager.org` - `www.mojeek.com` - `www.oceanhero.today` - `www.perplexity.ai` - `www.phind.com` - `www.qwant.com` - `www.search.com` - `www.search.naver.com` - `www.seznam.cz` - `www.sogou.com` - `www.startpage.com` - `www.swisscows.com` - `www.tiktok.com` - `www.wikipedia.org` - `www.yandex.com` - `www.yandex.ru` - `www.you.com` - `www.youtube.com` - `yandex.com` - `yandex.ru` - `you.com` - `youtube.com` - `*` ## Safety - **Risk impact:** Very high risk impact - **Risk likelihood:** Moderate risk likelihood ### Analysis details - Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site. - This extension has low user count.
