exclude certain query string

    Hello.
    I am using the basic caching method and have caching Query strings option enabled.
    Now, I would like to exclude a certain query string (Search results) from caching. The URL syntax is:
    https://www.liberlapidum.com/cs/?s=emerald&post_type=product
    where the emerald is an example of a searched word.
    I tried to write down to “Never cache the following pages:” box things like:
    /?s=
    or
    /?s=*/
    But this always excludes completely all query strings.
    How do I exclude only search results?
    Thank you.

    Hello @fkoomek

    Thank you for your inquiry and I am happy to assist you with this.
    There is no option to exclude specific queries from Page Cache. You should disable “Cache URIs with query string variables” add the page URL to the “Accepted query strings” field.
    Thank you!

    Thank you. I solved it by disabling W3 Total cache when the query string is /?=.
    So I wrote to mu-plugins

    add_filter(‘option_active_plugins’, ‘lg_disable_plugin’);

    function lg_disable_plugin($plugins)
    {
    if (strpos($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], ‘/?s=’) !== false) {
    $key = array_search(‘w3-total-cache/w3-total-cache.php’, $plugins);
    if (false !== $key)
    unset($plugins[$key]);
    }
    return $plugins;
    }
