  • boolean search element of NOT

    Is there a way to emulate the major search engines and provide the NOT function as in
    plumber NOT "hot water"

    On Google, we would use +plumber -"hot water"

    Thanks

    Zoom does not currently support a boolean NOT operation. However, this is something we would consider for a future version.

      Will this be avaible for version 5.0?

      And can I modify the code to allow for me to have this search function?

        This was already introduced in release Version 4.2.1000 (17 Aug 2005)

        Exclusion/negative searches: This allows your users to perform search queries which exclude a certain keyword by preceding the search term with a hyphen (eg. "cats -dog" would return all pages containing the word "cat" but not the word "dog").

        You can't have negative phrases however. Just negative words.
