Thank you for the great plugin.
I’m Japanese.SO my English may be not good.Sorry…

I want search to exclude specific items.For example,It excludes specific allergens.

Can it do that?

Instead of including terms, which is what our plugin does, you want to exclude them. I am sorry, but this is not a feature of our plugin.

I think it might be possible though, with custom coding. You would need to use the https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/action-filter-reference/#edit-query-arguments filter.

This post discuss something similar:

BUT, in your case, you have to change the 'operator' => 'IN', part of the query for the field to 'operator' => 'NOT IN',

I will ask Ross, the plugin developer, if he has some further thoughts on this.

Hi Kie

What Trevor says is correct, you can use our filter sf_edit_query_args to restrict the results to certain categories or taxonomies, or exclude them, for example.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks
