Add a "Remove results from this site" in dropdown to temporarily remove said site from showing up in results

On mobile it's REALLY annoying to temporarily exclude sites from your search results. Not only does autocorrect regularly mess with what you're typing, it's also kind of a pain to get the address as long-pressing on the url opens up the browser menu to open it in a new tab or whatever, so you can't just copy paste it either.
I guess a workaround would be to click on "more results from this site" and then manually add a "-", but my keyboard loves to add a space after a "-" so I gotta go in and move it by one empty space to then remo-- that's not even that much better and just straight up not intuitive.

My suggestion:

You tap on "exclude site from this result" or whatever you want to call it and it adds -site:SITE to your search query, pretty much the same as the "More results from this site" does it.. just the opposite direction.

FurbyOnSteroids Makes sense. can you explain a scenarion (conrecte query) in where you would use this?

Vlad Not OP, but I probably would use this for rust related things. I have docs.rs raised, but often when I search for something rust related nearly half of the top results are docs.rs, which sometimes is just not what I wanted. So being able to quickly just remove these results would give me a better answer, while I still could keep docs.rs raised.

Just came to ask for this. Typical use case: trying to find blogs on topic X. Not posts, but blogs focusing on the topic. Very a single highly active blog fills the top results, hiding the others. Sorting by site helps, but the "top blog" may now be waayyyy down because it happens to alphabetize that way.

...and it's there. 🙂 Lovely <3

Is this feature broken at the moment? I can see the option in the dropdown, and when I click it a -site:correctdomainofsite.com is added to the query, but the results don't change (and definitely still include the site in question).

Kolja On further inspection, the cause seems to be that the site I wanted to exclude is "raised" by default in my searches. Adding a second, non-raised site to the exclusion query hides both domains, but hiding only the raised one seems impossible.
