For that reason after short attempts to try Google’s social efforts I give up. I keep hoping they will become more flexible and user friendly but keep being disappointed…

[...] Google has launched a nice new feature that allows users to create customized search results. I have talked about this idea before: Improve Google. Last year I posted about Rollyo, which allowed what Google now does (using Yahoo for the underlying search).

Yes, thanks for the suggestion, but I don't want to have to do that each time I search. I am glad you stopped by, keep up your great work with the Lean Manufacturing blog. Google also lets you accomplish that another way, for example, deming -site:www.cityofdeming.org -site:www.demingheadlight.com which removes those results from a search just for: deming But to manually eliminate domains you don't want every time is a pain (not exactly a good example of lean consumption). I want to be able to exclude domains as I find sites that I don't think will meet my future needs and never have them returned again (which should be stored in some list I can edit in case I change my mind). And truthfully as soon as that is working then I will want to be able to select from multiple search profiles (which I have set with different blocked sites, file preferences, topic focuses...). What a pain customers can be! On file types, I want to be able to set file types so they persist as my default search preferences for all searches (just like setting Google to return the number of results per page persists over time).

Have you tried “advanced search?”

You CAN choose a file type and exclude one domain, at the list.

Give that a try.
