Likely not the next Google but wanted to share: https://sanction.millionshort.com

SANCTION is an experimental search engine powered by the popular experimental search engine Million Short – an experiment within an experiment. (This is alpha and buggy!) With SANCTION you can choose to remove results from any Country you wish, for whatever reason.

Result removal is based on both the ccTLD and geographic location of where the page is hosted (a 1st degree connection). We have also provided the ability to remove results based on the ccTLD and location the scripts a particular page includes via script tags (a 2nd degree connection).


We're trying. Kindly see https://millionshort.com


Gives good results. Thanks for providing the link.


We're actively working to add lots of features on Million Short in 2018. I'd be happy to add any feature requests to our roadmap planning.


If I block ads on principle, but still want to support your site because I like the service, what are my options?

Also, adding a Dark Theme to the settings would be nice! (I'm trying to minimise the amount of light I'm exposed to at night to reduce eye-strain)

Love the concept, seems to work well. I personally use the 'media' specification of Google often (mostly: images, videos, pdfs, scholar articles, and Google patents). I didn't see a way to filter on Million Short.

...and if you could find a way to filter content that is not behind paywalls that would be amazing. As an engineer I'm constantly searching standards/specs (e.g. IEEE, ASTM, ISO standards etc.) some of which you can find free copies of for the previous revision (which are still pretty good), but you have to dig deep through top-ranking paywall sites.

We've been quietly working away on MillionShort - please stay tuned.


You can remove up to the top ones million sites with MillionShort: http://millionshort.com/about.html and you can specify individual sites to remove via settings: http://millionshort.com/settings.php


Feedback would be awesome. The voice data is obtained via Flash for now.


Glad you like it. We'll be realeasing some interesting features in the coming days and weeks.


Please give the "Million Short It On" challenge a try at http://www.MillionShortItOn.com challenge a try. You might be surprised by Million Short for long tail searches.


I rememeber back in the day when email addresses like hello@[8.8.8.8] were valid..
