Is there any way to keep Amazon coming up as the first entry when I use Google to search?
Internet only talks about stopping Amazon from tracking my searches afterwards.

OP
I think quotes also indicate the search results must include that word/phrase.

plus you can turn off saving searches. Then scrub your cookies.

Duck duck go uses google results without the ads.
Or, as in the poster above's example, you need a toaster, use this exact string including the quote marks.
"Toaster" - Amazon
When you use the double quote marks, your search is for the exact words between the quotes.

Otherwise, you also get a lot of results that Google may think are related enough to what you're looking for that you'll want to see them even if that search term isn't actually there.
