Here is a small modification you can use to exclude forums from showing in the New Posts and Today's Posts searches.

It is a simple installation, just import the product XML, ozzmodz_excl_new_posts

You can edit the options under the settings, [OzzModz]: Exclude Forums From New Posts Search Settings

Complete Feature List

• Option to disable the mod completely.
• Option to choose which forums, new threads / posts won't show in the New Posts and Today's Posts searches.
• Option to select which usergroups will still see the posts showing up in the forums you chose to exclude, useful for guests, so search engines can find the posts easily.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Q. Why do I need such a thing, you ask?

A. You may have some forums that you have set up to get RSS feeds from a outside source, so when you click on the New Posts, or the Today's Posts, you would see all them show, not anymore. Or you may have forums that have results from a sporting event, and some members may not have watched it yet. So if they were to view the Activity Stream, they might see the results that another user posted, spoiling their unknown outcome of the event.

Q. How did you come up with this mod?

A. New Joe gave me the idea.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

v1.0.0 Initial release.

Not sure if this mod can do the job, but this is what i want to do:

I want to exclude a certain forum from ALL the search queries.

I mean not only exclude this forum from the New Posts and Today's Posts searches. I want to exclude from the search results, even 2 years old threads/posts of this forum.

Is it possible with this plugin, on any other modification?

Hard code it in.
I use the following in 3.8.8.
I do not use vb4 so I am not sure of the proper coding.

<a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&exclude=46,48,50,51,67,68,93,94,104"
