Every time I google a solution for a simple problem (like where to find a feature of a software in its menus or how to calculate something) I always have to navigate past the dozen youtube links to find the article or manual that tells me the solution in 10 lines of text.

        Yes it does. “-Youtube” excludes all youtube videos from being displayed in the search results.
