Exclude channel from search results
How Do I?
about 4 years ago
I have a simple search form and I’m looking to exclude a channel from displaying in the results page even if the search term is relevant.
I’ve added the channel not parameter to the simple seach but results from the asset channel are been returned on the results page.
Am I missing something?
{exp:search:simple_form channel="not asset" status="Protected|open" search_in="entries" result_page="bca/search-results"}
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="keywords" class="form-label">Search</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control mb-2" name="keywords" id="keywords" placeholder="Search term">
<input type="submit" value="Search" class="btn btn-bca-blue">
</div>
{/exp:search:simple_form}Thanks Wayne.

You can specify what channels to include or exclude as a parameter in your search tag.
For example you can exclude the “blog” channel but include news and events channels:
{exp:search:simple_form channel="not blog|news|events" ...}

No, even if I set the channel, in this case about and search it shows results for entries outside of the about channel.
{exp:search:simple_form channel="about"}

I think this bug is already fixed, @deswork.
