Manage Optics

Optics lets you control almost everything about which search results that gets returned to you. You can discard results from specific sites, boost results from other sites and much more.
See our quickstart for how to get started. Once you have developed your optic, you can add it here to be used during your search.
Simply host the optic on a url that returns a plain-text HTTP response with the optic. We use raw.githubusercontent.com, but you are free to host them elsewhere.
