What I’d like to see is a search that excludes any page with ads, and any page with affiliate links. That alone would get rid of 90% of the garbage

I've expressed this wish on HN a few times in the past as well. One downside to it that I can think of (off the top of my head) is that there may be a lot of small, personal websites that are hosted on a free blogging platform which injects ads into every page. These websites may be very valuable (and not SEO garbage link farms) but would get blocked nevertheless.
Sort of a server-side, page-level adblocker.
It could make for an interesting Firefox extension I think
