That's why I watch TV instead.

#64https://wiby.me/ exists to solve this exact problem. I've found some pretty neat/odd websites on it in the past.
But to add my site I have to add every page individually. Nobody ain’t gonna use thst.
I’d have to submit every blog post?

#65omg yes please. can google allow us to exclude certain sites? i was surprised to see w3school showing up above official documentations for pandas and numpy. this is simply ridiculous!!
the "-" operator still works. E.g. "weird stuff I found interesting -reddit.com -youtube.com -wired.com -w3schools.com"

COVID-19 isn't a coronavirus, it's the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

No, the comment above is correct, and your own links show this.
From link [2]: "SARS-CoV-2 (the novel coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19)"
The previous comment was just making the point that the (new) virus is called SARS-CoV-2 and the associated disease is called COVID-19.

#67This is a great question, I also want a way to search the internet but exclude all major media domains as well as any company over a certain size. So I just want to search through old blogs, SO, non-corporate social media, weird forums, etc. There are so many cool things I remember reading on the web like 10-20 years ago that still exist that are so buried now on Google they might as well not exist. Nowadays searchin…
If you are looking for a forum search, check out https://boardreader.com/.
I have a theory that web crawling alone is not the best way forward to find the most relevant results because of the volume of content continually being created, much of which is niche and sometimes dynamic.
Instead I believe linking together vertical search sources that have targeted information based on search intent will provide better results.
I created Runnaroo [0] for that purpose. If you search a programing question, it will pull traditional organic results from Google, but it will also directly query Stack Overflow for a deeper search.

#68The elephant in the room is Baidu.
Ask HN: Is there a search engine which includes only what the Chinese government wants me to see?
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...

Heh, I was trying to do research on coronaviruses (of which COVID-19 is one of many coronaviruses), but Google sanitized the result and only showed me "official" COVID-19 resources and buried the broader coronavirus resources. https://www.google.com/search?q=coronavirus
It is kind of funny that we talk about SARS-COV-2 as if it is the only coronavirus. Coronavirus, singular. If I’m not mistaken the common cold is in the corona virus family.

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)
