Search Enhancement Suite is a browser extension that blocks, highlights, favorites, and saves search results across Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo.
What is Search Enhancement Suite?
Search Enhancement Suite is a lightweight browser extension (489 KiB) that modifies search result pages on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo. It takes a search result URL or domain as input and lets you apply one of four actions: block (hide it), highlight (visually mark it), favorite (save it for quick access), or save (store the result with metadata). The extension is developed by ScriptSmith and runs on Chrome and Firefox (desktop), Orion Browser (iOS/iPad), and Yandex and Kiwi Browsers (Android). All settings and data are stored locally; no personal data is collected or shared.
Key Features
- Block domains & URLs — Hide distracting or misleading results from search pages; blocked items are removed dynamically.
- Highlight domains & URLs — Visually mark trusted websites (e.g., color-coded backgrounds) so they stand out in results.
- Favorite domains & URLs — Add frequently used or trusted sites to a favorites list for one-click access.
- Save search results with metadata — Store individual results along with page title, URL, and timestamp; exportable as JSON or CSV.
- Keyboard shortcuts — Block, highlight, favorite, or save results without mouse clicks; shortcuts are customizable.
- Live dashboard — Track counts of blocked, highlighted, favorited, and saved items in a single panel.
- Import & export data — Backup or transfer your block/highlight/favorite/save lists via JSON and CSV files.
- Multi-engine support — Works on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo with the same feature set on each.
- Infinite scroll compatibility — Functions correctly on search pages that load results dynamically (e.g., endless scrolling).
- Dark mode & theme toggle — Switch between light and dark themes for comfortable browsing at any time.
Who is it for?
- Students and researchers — Use the save feature to archive search results with metadata during literature reviews or assignments, then export as CSV for reference management.
- Marketers and SEO professionals — Block competitor or irrelevant domains from appearing in their daily search workflow and highlight preferred sources to speed up analysis.
- Productivity-focused users — Use keyboard shortcuts to quickly filter out time-wasting sites (social media, clickbait) from search results, reducing distraction.
How does it work?
- Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store (or compatible browser store).
- Perform a normal search on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo.
- Each search result displays an options button (⛨). Click it to open a menu, then choose an action: block (hide), highlight (mark), favorite (add to list), or save (store with metadata).
- Your selections persist across sessions and apply to future searches on all supported search engines.
