Can You Remove Stores From your Search?

[Error403Forbidden]

Hello! I have a curious question. If you no longer wish to see a certain store in the market place, is there a way to do this? 

[Orwar]

   Only temporarily, as far as I'm aware, by adding 'NOT X' to your search, where X is the name of the store (or the name of the store's owner, if the store's name is too generic).

[Arduenn Schwartzman]

Yes, what Orwar says. It totally works. I'd like to add this: put the full store name between double quotes.

For example:

teleporter NOT "The Dark Woods"

(Note: this is not a real store, just a made-up example.)

I simply use my scroll wheel on the mouse.
Much easier and quicker than all the typing, just because I don't want to shop in a certain store.

It works using multiple stores as well.. I have a notecard setup with stores that I don't do business with anymore and  paste them in front of my search term..

So it's like, NOT Store name NOT store name NOT Store name NOT Store name Search term

 

It works great for looking for freebies as well,  NOT DEMO free  or  NOT DEMO gift  or NOT whatever... hehehehe

   Oh, trust me, if you're doing a loose enough search term, like 'Maitreya AND ballgown', where some twit has tagged every darned thing in their store with 'ballgown' just because they want more hits, even though their 28 pages of tinted full-perm re-sale junk has nothing to do with ballgowns, you may find yourself tempted to bump them off of your search by page 4-5.

That's generous - I don't typically give them more than 2 pages before I exclude them

Personally, this is all the search modifier I ever need:

Sometimes I will have fun for a couple of minutes reporting key word abuse.  If I am searching for pants I should not be seeing bras.

If I'm not in a hurry and come across a store doing a lot of keyword spamming, I will take a half hour of my time and report tons of listings.  

I often hope that if I flag 50 or so entries from a single store, that LL takes the initiative to check the rest of the listings when they are processing the ones that I flag. I'm sure it is just wishful thinking though.

Linden Lab and Initiative?  Isn't that like oil and water?

I have wanted this as a feature for years... a nice little button, ignore this store

Oh, come on, Perrie! We all put on our bras one leg at a time.

You can create a filter in U-Block which will remove any store owners you don't want to see.

Something like this will work (replace STOREOWNER#)

marketplace.secondlife.com##span:has-text(/STOREOWNER#1|STOREOWNER#2|\bwar\b/i):upward(3)

 

example. This will hide A&D Clothing. KittyTech and Dust Bunny.

marketplace.secondlife.com##span:has-text(/Oddity3D|Suddeh|Noel Bunny|\bwar\b/i):upward(3)

 

(*If you don't know what U-Block is Google it)
