If the question is "Is there a commercially-viable search engine that supports this feature", then the answer is "probably not".
Implementing this properly involves having your own search index. And that's pretty expensive.

What are they blocking anyway? Anything important? There's so many Chinese forums for hardware/firmware hacking/mods, a shame translators are still very bad...
Definitely. What if I want to research information on a certain 1989 student protest to write a paper about censorship?
Look, I know it's important history and all, but looking at it realistically, it's a tiny part of the information the average person needs. Them removing Reddit, EdX, Sci-hub or the Hong Kong Companies Registry from search results would have a much bigger impact.

#124What are folks’ non-commoditized heuristics for finding new things online? I was intrigued by how dorkweed’s approach has changed over time, as described in a reply to a sibling comment. As general search results get watered down and rotten tomato inflation maybe trends towards reflecting company interests rather than my interest-level, maybe it’s worth re-evaluating the vetting avenues we take as users. Here’s mine:…
How'd you find the quantity of fan videos?
Personal trick: I follow reaction video blogs, and if they are reacting to something then it is usually worth watching. But reaction blogs are only for short videos and other short form content.

#125I think there's a simple google way. Just add `-bigwebsite.com` to your query.
[search term] -google -youtube -facebook ... -top100website and it should work.
I found a list of the top 1m alexa websites here:

An add-on with that list should do the work.

#127There is Million Short which allows you to search without the top 100, 1k, 10k, 100k, or 1m sites. Personally what I'd like to see is a search engine that only indexes webpages without ads since that should eliminate lots of the SEOd garbage. It would also be nice to use the text to code ratio to derank JS heavy sites.

[retracted] and I hope this is just a misunderstanding. As the director of the World Health Organization (WHO) said, 2019-nCoV is a novel (new) coronavirus.[0] The CDC defines coronavirus as a virus that was not previously known — check the FAQ, “what is a novel coronavirus?”[0.5] They changed the name of this coronavirus to reflect the disease more accurately to COVID-19.[1] The CDC has a list of other coronavirus’…
Excuse the incivility, but no. COVID-19: disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 SARS-CoV-2: strain of SARS-CoV SARS-CoV: severe accute respiratory syndrome coronavirus Coronavirus: virus that causes respiratory diseases in mammals, such as SARS (SARS-CoV) MERS (MERS-CoV), and COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2)
I'll add that the family of viruses is called Corona virus because they are 'crown shaped'

That's pretty clunky.
- there's probably a pretty low limit for size of Google queries, you'll likely hit it quickly
- you won't be able to search for e.g a story about YouTube censoring some content

>SARS-CoV-2: strain of SARS-CoV
Excuse the incivility, but no. SARS-CoV-2 is not a strain or type of SARS-CoV. The viruses share ancestors, but SARS-CoV-2 did not come directly from SARS-CoV. SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 are in the category of beta coronaviruses[0].
