Hi there, Im trying to figure out if there is a way of filtering out a list of non relevant products from the search results page?

For instance I want to display all skydiving products - but not indoor skydiving.

If I search for skydiving I get all indoor & outdoor products.

Does anyone know if there such a parameter to specify "skydiving" "minus" all "indoor" products?

Or another way to just display what I need?

Thanks

Hello,

Have you tried boolean searches?

For example, here (http://default.shopwindow.com/productlist.php?c=193&q=skydiving+%21%3Dindoor+%21%3Dbodyflying&rb=4-193&iListLimit=30&sListSort=relevancy), I have excluded indoor skydiving in my search query.

Regards

George,

Has the Boolean search functionality changed?

The format you gave below does not seem to work now.

I don't think the search in V2 supports boolean search. V1 had its own search call with its own parameters. V2 just uses a keyword parameter of the productList call.

I'm not sure why it was cut back so much, in my opinion it's nowhere near as flexible as the V1 search.
