Question

I am trying to create a query for GSA Search:

The query suppose to bring all the results that exclude some texts inside meta tag, some thing like:

inmeta:Education -first and -second and -courses...

But no luck with that. Is anybody knows what the right syntax is?

Answer 1

I have used the equal to condition before and the query looks like this –

(inmeta:education=first OR inmeta:education=second)

If your results must not include all the pages with the meta tag Education not equal to the value first then use –

inmeta:Education-first

For multiple values you can use the OR condition –

(inmeta:Education-first OR inmeta:Education-second)

You can find a lot more information here –

Hope this helps you.
