Search syntax, search where not equal - e.g. field != searchterm

[Stephen Hoult]

Hi 

Say we had a global field called 'sport' on all images.

Is it possible to do a search for resources where for example sport != football? 

This would show all resources where the 'sport' field is anything other than  'football'.

Cheers

try -football

I believe this omission search only works in the global search
(searching all fields, not a specific one), so you WON'T be able to
limit this specifically to the sport field by using Advanced Search, a
field-specific Simple Search, or the equivalent 'sport:-football'.
So, if you have a baseball file with an indexed caption that says "but
baseball is not as exciting as football", you'd also be omitting that
baseball file incidentally.

You could use advanced search to omit football by including all other options in the search. RS defaults to this search style via the config option below.

# For checkbox list searching, perform logical AND instead of OR when ticking multiple boxes.

$checkbox_and=false;

This is easily done with checkbox lists as long as the options aren't extensive. If you have a lot of options you could set up a smart collection once and share it.
