      Adding “site:” before a search string can help if you know what you’re looking for. Like site:wikipedia or site:GitHub.com

      This kills off AI spam by constricting search results to pages from that site.

      But google’s other problem that this doesn’t solve (just like Amazon) is that the first few results are always paid ads, and not actual search results.
