Including and Excluding Forums in Your Search

When conducting a search of the entire site of FlyerTalk, you might not want to include some forums — for example, the OMNI forum, to which not all FlyerTalk members have access.

To exclude all three OMNI forums, copy and paste the text below:

Code:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/search.php?do=getdaily&exclude=457,652,699
The numbers at the end of the text above reflect the number which is assigned to the forum. For example, 457 is OMNI; 652 is OMNI/PR; and 699 is OMNI/Games. To find those numbers, simply go to the forum...

Code:
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/omni-457/
...and you will find the forum number at the end of the Universal Resource Locator; or URL.

You can also include a forum with the following text, using the three OMNI forums once again as an example and using the word include instead of exclude as an example:

Code:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/search.php?do=getdaily&include=457,652,699
Try it for yourself!
