Hello Everybody,

Looking the way how to exclude specific template from the search, i tried this in advanced search - it returns an error:

-{[Test Template]} and

{[]}-{[Test Template]}

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Vladimir

You need to have an actual search syntax and append the -{[General]} to it. If your goal is to search for all entries that don't have the General template, then you'll need to first include the search syntax for all entries. You can try something like

{LF:ID>0}-{[General]}

If you just wanted to do something like search for all documents that don't have the general template, then you can use

{LF:Name="*", Type="DB"}-{[General]}

You should just be able to append

-{[TemplateName]}

to your search syntax to have it exclude entries assigned that template. For example, I want to find all entries with names that start with "sample" and I want to exclude the ones that are assigned the General template. My advanced search would look like

{LF:Name="sample*"}-{[General]}

If that's not working for you, can you describe in what way it's failing?
