Quick one today. I got sick of searching for programming questions and seeing AI-generated scraped-from-stackoverflow click farm trash polluting the results, and I happen to use a personal SearXNG instance that no client-side blacklist extension on the planet is gonna support, so I went looking to see if I could blacklist them in SearXNG for like the eighth time and finally found a way using the hostname replace plugin. So here's that, because I didn't find this feature documented officially anywhere bar an [issue](https://github.com/searxng/searxng/discussions/970) on the Github repo.

## How to do it
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, open up your instance's config file. If you installed it directly like I did, that'll probably be `/etc/searxng/settings.yml`. If you used Docker, god help you. Anyway, find the `enabled_plugins:` section and uncomment the entry for `'Hostname replace'`, then uncomment the line `hostname_replace:` just below it. Under there you'll put your blocks:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="codetitle">/etc/searxng/settings.yml</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
enabled_plugins:
|
||
|
|
- 'Hostname replace'
|
||
|
|
hostname_replace:
|
||
|
|
'(.*\.)?codegrepper\.com': false
|
||
|
|
'(.*\.)?geeksforgeeks\.org': false
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then restart SearXNG:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
service uwsgi restart searxng
|
||
|
|
```
