Google Search – How to Remove Sites from Results

google-search

A while ago I got fed up with continuously finding w3schools in my search results when I wanted detailed, technically correct information.

To fix this without having to continuously append -site:w3schools.com to my search queries, I used Google's Manage Blocked Sites page.

For a while this worked perfectly, no more results from unwanted sites. Recently, however, I've been seeing w3schools litter my search results.

Is there a new way to remove a site from Google search results?
-or-
Is this just a bug that I should report?

This is a known bug that showed up past year. Google is aware of it as you can read on google groups:

We're aware that this is an issue and I'll post an update as soon as I have one. In the meantime, thanks for your patience.

The only solution you have for now is a browser script/extension.
