Google's newest feature allows users to block domain names from their search results.
The search giant has complete details on its official blog.
Here's how it works: When browsing search results, users will see an option to block all results next to "Cached" and "Similar."Then the listing disappears, and users can "Manage blocked sites" or "Undo." Only users with a Google account can do this.
After blocking a site, users can click "Manage blocked sites" to manually enter websites they want Google to block.
The feature is only available for users using the English versions of Chrome 9+, IE8+ and Firefox 3.5+; but Google plans to expand the availabilty of the feature.
