SearchWP Exclude UI

Site search often returns content that visitors do not need: draft posts, outdated pages, discontinued products or media files. SearchWP Exclude UI gives you a direct way to remove those items from results. You can exclude content from the content editor in one click, so there is no need to edit code or write custom rules for every case.

The extension works inside SearchWP and is switched on from SearchWP's interface. Beyond single items, it lets you set broader exclusion rules for content types or groups across multiple search engines on your site. You can also set a custom order for results. Developers get hooks, filters and APIs for adjusting the exclusion logic when a site has unusual needs.

Features

• One-click content exclusion: Exclude an individual post, page or product from search results directly in the content editor. No technical knowledge is needed to hide a single item.
• WooCommerce product exclusion: Hide irrelevant or discontinued products from your WooCommerce product search so shoppers see the items that are still relevant to them.
• Media and taxonomy exclusion: Keep media files, categories, tags or custom taxonomies out of your search results to make results more targeted.
• Bulk exclusion rules: Define broad rules that hide content types or groups from multiple WordPress search engines on your site, which helps when managing large sites.
• Custom results ordering: Set your own order preferences for content so the results you consider most important appear first for a given keyword.
• Works inside SearchWP: Activate the Exclude UI extension from within SearchWP's interface. It builds on the SearchWP plugin and does not need a separate setup.
• Hooks, filters and APIs: Developers can use hooks, filters and APIs to customize and extend the exclusion logic and adapt search behavior to complex or unusual site requirements.
