Is there any way to exclude terms or may it be a feature in the future?

For example, I love filtering by SoCal and 9mm, but I have plenty of Glocks and Sigs so I would like to exclude those from any search that otherwise capture 9mm and SoCal in the results. Thanks!

Use a - infront of the word like -glock -sig in the keyword box

Thanks! I tried that but for some reason it said there were suddenly 0 results on the forum, haha. I'll keep experimenting, I must have done it wrong somehow.

Appreciate the response! :D

Which search are you using? You need to be under classifieds and not quick search
 
Yep!

I think I figured it out. I typed in -glock in the title box and it wasn't working, but I moved -glock instead to keywords section and it's working now.

User error/skill issue on my part.

Looks like it’s not returning what I would expect. I’ll take a look at this later
