Topic: Exclude tags in search?

Posted under General

I am terribly sorry if this was asked or explained somewhere else.
I'd simply like to know if there is some kind of way to "exclude" certain tags in searches. I know there is the blacklisting feature, but I'd like to know if I can on an individual level.

I'll use the search that I want to look up for example:
I want to look at five_nights_at_freddy's, right? Well, when I do that, I also get a lot of results relating to "source film maker" or "sfm", and I'd like to search whithout any posts with the sfm in it showing up.

Again, sorry if this is already explained somewhere.

fnaf -sfm

Putting the minus sign in front of a tag in search removes posts with the tag in it from your searches

Note that, for the blacklist feature specifically and NOT searching, it has the opposite effect: "fnaf -sfm" on the same line in your blacklist will show fnaf content ONLY if it contains sfm.
