Hi there,
I would like to know if I can set simple search options: I just have to exclude a couple of categories from my search results and I have to exclude all the pages.
Is this possible somehow or it’s better to me to use a third party search plugin?
In this case, how can I make it work? I tried to install two of them but the “lens” on the main menù is still the standard newspaper search.
Thankyou so much!
Flavio
Hello flak,
Sorry but please notice that our theme does not have any such an option for this functionality, unfortunately!
Thanks for your understanding!
Ok, no problem, but you can tell me how to solve the problem that if I install other “search” plugins, they will not correctly show when I click on the “lens” on the menù?
They tell me it should be something depending to the theme.
Thanks,
Flavio
Hi,
The theme uses the same search functionality of WordPress, the search function would not have any customization options. You could simply disable it

Then either install a search plugin with more advanced settings, try some of these for example

Or you could go by code, to remove pages from search results try this

Also to exclude specific posts or pages give this plugin a try
