Q: How do I exclude a word from my Filmot search results, including from video titles?

Put a minus sign immediately before a word, such as quantum -computing . Filmot then excludes every video whose searchable transcript contains "computing", even if the word appears only once in an unrelated passage. You can exclude several terms or combine them with a phrase, for example neuroscience -psychology -self-help or "nuclear fusion" -fission . A query needs at least one positive search term; a query consisting only of excluded words is invalid. To exclude words in video titles, use the Video Title field under Filters in subtitle search, or the title box in Metadata search . Those fields support the same operators. If you want to avoid a term near a match rather than reject the whole transcript, use NOTNEAR/N , with a distance up to 500. Examples include radiation NOTNEAR/100 microwave and "nuclear energy" NOTNEAR/60 weapons . The Search Syntax Cheat Sheet provides more examples.
