Excluding posts from search

Hi @itsmeameer,

You can exclude post types in Jetpack Search by configuring via Customizer settings, or by adding a code snippet. See the below guides for instructions.

• https://jetpack.com/support/search/jetpack-search-product-billing/#how-can-i-reduce-the-number-of-records-on-my-site

I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.

I’m not looking to exclude entire posts types from search. I only want to exclude certain posts. Ideally I’m looking for a hook to which I can pass an array of IDs.

HI @itsmeameer –

We have a code snippet for this on Jetpack.com:

add_filter( 'jetpack_instant_search_options', function($options) {
    $options['adminQueryFilter'] = array(
        'bool' => array(
            'must_not' => array(
                array( 'terms' => array( 'post_id' => [2266, 1724]) ),
            )
        )
    );
 
    return $options;
} );

Please note that we can’t assist with custom code, and it is provided “as-is” per our scope of support

Thank you.
