Narrowing Search Results to a Collection

Optionally you narrow a search by specifying the ids of collections to include or exclude. For example:

  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.folksemantic.com/search/results.pjs?terms=gm+AND+!feed_id:(496197525+496197527+496603418+1046958763)"></script>

Excludes the collection with the ids 496197525, 496197527, and 496603418 (OpenLearn) from the search. See the Indexed Collections page to find the ids of the collections.
