I haven't seen much discussions about solving the entire "search sucks" mess by simply introducing rich filtering for the results.

The way I see it is that Google is still some weird magic box that throws a bunch of random results out based on some black magic logic.

It's beyond my comprehension that there are no filters on any on the search engines (at least I don't remember seeing any).

By having some filtering options, such as "No JavaScript", "No ads", "SSGs only", "Page size < 1MB" and so on, search would be much better.
