Is it possible to exclude a search therm when performing a search on the forum?

Thank you!

If you're using MySQL, you could add it as a stopword https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/fulltext-stopwords.html

 

Oh, I mean when you enter a search term, not a term I'd want to remove permanently.

For instance, something like, "quadrun reproduction -7800"

I know how to do it when performing an SQL query, but I'm guessing there's no support to do this from the forum search.

Yes, you can use + and - in the search term (boolean search is implemented)

Great, thank you for confirming.  The search results page doesn't show that you are excluding search terms when you prefix a term with "-".   Nor are there any clues you can use "+" and "-", so that would be helpful if it was displayed somewhere.  Here's what I see when using the following terms,

quadrun prototype -2732

Thank you for your help!

Please feel free to post that up as a suggestion in our feedback area if you would like to see this appear at some point in the future
