Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/589

The ability to pass a filter parameter invisibly as an admin would allow me to filter out the many distractions on the internet that are so often elevated to the top of google search results...

"sites: -reddit.com -facebook.com -wikipedia.org"

This would make this a tool for filtering in addition to being a front end.

Example use case:

My pihole bans reddit, facebook, wikipedia, and any other low quality social apps on my home network. It would be nice if I, as admin, could have an easy method to invisibly append an array of domains I want filtered from results by passing the search parameter.

I want my family consuming reliable information from reputable sources and not relying on "social media" and "social encyclopedias" that are highly manipulated and ALWAYS rank at the top of search results.
