    Lightbulb Excluding Categories from Advanced Search

    I have a client that is building a Flash Tattoo online store, and they would like to exclude one of the categories from the overall search of the site, ie they would not be able to find products in a specific category unless they go to the category page. The products under that category would not show up in searches.

    Any ideas on how to accomplish this? I'm using the advanced search template.

    haven't look much into this, but if i was doing it, since i wanted a customized search result, i'd filter the results set or directly the sql query... not really the ideal thing to do, though. just a thought.

    The search.aspx and searchadv.aspx uses aspdnsf_getproducts stored proc, modify that sproc to exclude those products/categories.
