Site Search – how to block results based on specific search criteria

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I have a site search that searches a list and returns results based on meta keywords, title and content of each item in the list, and sorts the results alphabetically. I am looking for a way to prevent certain resources from showing up based on specific search criteria.

For example, searching “ADA” (abbreviation for “Americans with Disabilities Act”) returns three results at the moment:

  • – 1st result has “adaptive” in the title and content

  • – 2nd result has “adaptive” in the content

  • – 3rd result has “ADA” in the title, content and keyword

    • Ideally, the 3rd result will be the first to show up OR the first two should not appear in the results at all.

    Any ideas?

    Is there a way to prevent the first two results from showing up using meta keywords to “not include” or “block” from being returned based on a keyword?

    @NogDogJan 24.2022 — Probably depends on how/where you are doing the search. If you could use a regular expression (regex) search at that point, then it should be possible to have it only match on whole words, e.g. /badab/i to only match on the word "ada" in a case-insensitive manner.

    Success!
