Need help regarding exclude filters

[VarunAgw]

My goal is to index xyz.ect while preventing xyz-backup1.ect, xyz-backup2.ect,.. from showing up into search results. How can I do this using Indexes->Exclude->Add Filter?

What have you tried?

Does -backup? accomplish anything?

[VarunAgw]

I tried some wildcard combination like *-backup*.ect

And no, -backup? didn't worked for me

I don't know, but I just noticed that the Add filter refers to Exclude Folders.
Try using Exclude Files at bottom. [If this is the case...]

I'm really stupid (Didn't not tried that ever). And yes it worked as expected. Thanks!

[therube]

So what, *-backup*.ect (or similar) worked when that was placed in 'Exclude files:' (at the bottom)?

[VarunAgw]

Yes!
