Search operators to exclude certain documents/folders?

❓Help
#1

Hi,

I have a folder and documents for work, and another set for my personal life. Can anyone suggest a way to edit my search operations to exclude a certain document, or folder? Or is this not possible?

Thank you,

Not possible right now, sorry.

It has been suggested before: Option to exclude document from global search

The main issue is that since we don’t want you to do “exclude:[super long file id]”, files need aliases to be useful. That would involve a new alias system, which is not really necessary at the point.

Maybe there are other ways you imagine we can implement this without aliases?
