Removing A Domain Name From A Google Search

When you are searching Google, you can restrict your search to a specific domain. For example, if you would like to find a page with the pattern “man touch” on https://krypted.com/ then you can constrain a Google search using the site: operator. The search dialog box would then read:

"man touch" site:krypted.com

But if you don’t find my posts helpful then you can remove the domain name from your Google searches, done by running the same, but with a “-” in front of the domain name, which given the above search inverted would be:

"man touch" site:-krypted.com

The resultant URL is then: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:-krypted.com. To take this a step further, you could also use this awesome application called glims fromĀ http://www.machangout.com to actually change your default search site from the standard Google.com search to the above URL and eliminate a given domain name from all future searches.
