Hello everyone. Does anyone know if/how to restrict NS search criteria to restrict results kinda like google does? Ex "item: {brandname} -sample" to eliminate sample item results from the search

I believe that you could use the formula functions just as you do for results.

Maybe use criteria contain name sample for type of record search you are doing.

when I do the "-sample" part, I get 0 results, and I know there's dozens

Why don’t you use criteria when item name contains word sample then show me results which is item name.

so, I know I can eliminate it in a saved search, I was wondering if it could be done on the global on-the-fly search

Try using: Ite: %sample
