It’s custom google search results, but since it’s excluding .com, .net, .org etc then you probably won’t see any of the large sites there.
It’s also interesting to see which sites have been built in the last few years, as the new gTLDS haven’t been around that long.

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...
Then I use Violentmonkey an open source js/css injector to inject this user script: https://greasyfork.org/nl/scripts/1682-google-hit-hider-by-d... This will block specific domains for you in google, yahoo, duckduckgo etc. I use this to block domains like Quora, sourceforge, cnet and softonic.
The nice thing about this script is that you can permaban domain you know are junk and they will completely be removed or you can ban a domain like commercial websites. When you ban something it is not removed from google or duckduckgo but it only shows the title in light gray, Im currently experimenting with this on some mayor webstores so I can not really say if this may help you but It can be a good start.
(edit) I saw some people say why this was not possible before. Google allowed you to block domains and website a few years ago, but they removed this feature. Duckduckgo never allowed you to do that because that would mean that you will have a cookie that remembers your preferences and that is against there principles.

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.
This 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…

I personally use Google Chrome with the duckduckgo search engine. Duckduckgo is not perfect, very in depth searches (such as gameboy advance memory layout only return junk, while google knows you are searching for a nich) but on your average search it is as good as google, somethimes better because it is more factual and will promote less webstores. When it does not give me what im looking for I can add !g anywhere i…
There is a search engine with this exact goal: https://millionshort.com/ . I haven't had that great results with it myself though.
I tried it with "waders" which are either the things that you to put on your feet to go fishing or a category of birds (shorebirds or herons). The results after going for all the options were still exclusively stores wanting to sell me the former. Garbage in, garbage out. I guess. Still I like the idea of something to side-step the SEO perhaps with more effort they can make it work but relying on Google or any major…
I suppose it depends on the category.
What I want is to filter out commercial results. When I'm searching for a product I don't want shills, I want real opinions.
