Unable to exclude results from search
Closed
I have used this actor a few times and want to exclude some 200 results from the search query.
However, using the standard Google search format for excluding results (-site:http://sac.edu/ for example) does not remove the URL from search.

Hi Sean,
could you provide what specific sites were not excluded from the results ofyour run? I looked at your run and tried couple of excluded URLs defined in your input and didn't find any of them in the results.
But maybe the issue is that you don't exclude everything. For example, you have -site:https://palomar.edu/ in your input, but there is https://www.palomar.edu/... in the results. You will need to exclude both URLs.
Let me know if this helped.

Thanks Ondrej - I think this is where my confusion lies. I presumed that just the base URL was sufficient and that I wouldn't need every possible iteration, but I see now how to do what I'm trying to do.
Thanks again! Sean

I've encountered the issue here:

Even though the item was excluded, it still appeared in the results given back by the actor.

Hi, sorry for late reply. I can't see the images that you sent, could you send the item that was not excluded in the results?
