The Science Citation Index and LexisNexis already do most of the filtering for you by not including absolute unmitigated garbage that happens to be perfectly optimised for your search keywords. You might find the odd David Irving article in there, but you haven't got Stormfront trying to citation-bomb all holocaust related terms for the lolz, never mind commercial blogspam. And Google also works on the assumption most users won't do their own filtering.

I can't imagine that Science Citation Index excludes stuff from the literature. But it's been a while since I used it. Perhaps they drop "absolute unmitigated garbage". Or that they neglect to index obscure journals.
