Is it possible to exclude keywords from a search? I recently wanted to recent search for posts about Microsoft Project on an IT Forum for schools that uses discourse. However, searching for “project” brought back lots of posts about “projectors”. Most forums would allow me to exclude projectors by searching for “project -projectors”, but Discourse doesn’t seem to allow it.

To the best of my understanding, this isn’t currently possible. As such, we’d like to request a negation operator for search, like Google support -.
