SC quicksearch: exclude excluded folders from result list?

Hi,
from the SC quicksearch help:
Code: Select all
Use the /excl switch to exclude the contents of certain paths from the search results. It's the inline equivalent of the Excluded tab on the Find Files panel.
.....
ยท Like with the Excluded tab, the excluded paths themselves are shown (if they match the pattern), but not their contents.
How do I search for directories (only) with the result list
not containing the folder paths matched by the
/excl switch?
Thanks,
FH

By filtering them out with formatlist() afterwards

I'm currently using regexreplace() for clearance, formatlist() seems to be a better choice, me thinks.
Anyway, a second SC call is required. Thanks for confirmation.

This is slightly off topic, but I was wondering if the /excl switch should work when searching tags? Basically I want to exclude tagged files from a certain path from results, something like this:
Code: Select all
text quicksearch("5 /fld=rating /excl=pending", "c:\test");
and if files are rated 5 in c:\test\pending they still show in the results, /excl seems to only work in file search not tag search, is that by design?
