What exactly do you want the search result to show?

3

Put it in search engine:
site:olx.in zomato -swiggy

4

All search results of Zomato but without the keyword swiggy in it & also what if I want to exclude one more keyword along with swiggy?

5

Olx’s search engine doesn’t have any options or shortcuts to do that.

6

Exactly. So how can we achieve it? Is it possible to add something In URL which leads us to our desired results?

I quickly wrote a script which might fulfill your need somewhat

const ulElement = document.getElementsByClassName('rl3f9 _3mXOU')[0];
liElements = ulElement.querySelectorAll('li');
liElements.forEach((item) => {
    const itemTitle = item.querySelector('._2tW1I');
    if(itemTitle) {
        const titleText = itemTitle.textContent.toLowerCase();
        const includeWords = ['apple'];
        const excludeWords = ['philips'];
        let result = excludeWords.some(word => titleText.includes(word))
        if(result)  { return }
        result = includeWords.some(word => titleText.includes(word))
        if(result)  { console.log(itemTitle.textContent); }
    }
})

Update adding this will also remove the node you don’t want

let result = excludeWords.some(word => titleText.includes(word))
if(result)  {
    item.remove()
    return 
}

I have not test if the script works properly so if some error come pm me.

Appreciate your hard work. I haven’t tested either. Actually I missed to mention that I want this filteration to happen on my mobile. Can you help?

If you are using chrome, execute that script and save that page as a link in a txt file or just close it and then reopen that page from chrome on your mobile. Or better yet send that page to your mobile by clicking →

and then scan it on your phone.
