Switching to alternative job search engines

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

A browser extension that filters out specific job categories from Indeed search results based on user-defined keywords.
A 'negative keyword' feature within the Indeed job feed settings that permanently hides job titles containing specified terms.
A machine learning feedback loop that explicitly weights 'thumb down' actions to immediately suppress similar job recommendations in the user's feed.
A toggle setting in the Indeed user profile to disable personalized search filtering and view raw, unfiltered results.
A browser extension that scrapes and aggregates Indeed search results from both logged-in and logged-out states to identify hidden listings.
