How to customize the search command of a search engine to exclude certain search results from a specific website? I am used to using Bing, but when searching for some computer-related keywords, the search results from "CSDN" website contain a lot of junk content. However, the default search engine cannot edit search commands to exclude these results. Can you provide a simple editing feature for users to customize the searches?

I really hate CDNS, it's one of the cancer of Chinese website.

I would like to search for videos excluding YouTube. How can I do this?

1. Configure Required Settings:
- Open Firefox browser
- Type `about:config` in the address bar and press Enter
- Click "Accept the Risk" button
- Search for `browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh`
- Ensure the value is set to `True`

2. Add Search Engine:
- Open Firefox Settings
- Navigate to Search panel
- Scroll to "Search Shortcuts" section
- Click the "Add" button below

3. Configure Search Engine Parameters:
- Enter the search engine name
- Set the results page URL
- Optional: Add keywords

4. Set up Search URL:
- Locate the target website's search results page URL
- Replace the search term in the URL with `%s` placeholder
- This tells Firefox where to insert the search query

Example:
https://www.bing.com/search?q=firefox -site:youtube.com
