If you're searching with Google then add
-Amazon
at the end of the search. It doesn't stop Amazon results showing up completely but will reduce them. It works on most other search engines too, but sometimes not as a well.

And there is always:
“site:specific.domain.com search string”
which limits the search to a specific domain, you can target where to look for information.

So what search engine do you use when searching? Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, the new Siri, ChatGPT? Bottom line is there is likely no way to exclude an individual term from a search. Don't become obsessed by it.
