How to Filter Google Search Results Without Typing Operators
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Operators such as -site:, intitle: and inurl: are powerful but tedious to type. For the most common one, excluding a site, uBlacklist saves the effort: block a site once and it's hidden from later results (on the page, rather than by changing your query). Google's Tools button also lets you filter by date without typing anything. Patrick Bushe's Search Cleaner uses switches to hide sections such as the AI Overview and ads, but it doesn't add operators to your searches.
