I am working on a sharepoint 2013 server.now i want to exclude all the pages that are linked to a certain term from the search result. to do so i did the following steps:-
i went to "Central administration" >> "Managed Services" >> "Search service" >> "Result Sources"
Copy the default entity which is "Local sharepoint result":-
after that i modify existing query , where i added the following < "cancelled">> at the end of the query, as follow:-
and i set the new result source as the default.
now i test the new Result source and seems it is working as expected, where any page that are linked to a wiki category = cancelled will be excluded from the search result.so can anyone adivce if i followed the correct approach to exclude certain pages from the search result ?
