Is there a way to configure telligent to limit search results.  We would like our search results to not return "People"

    Adams approach will work fine to remove individual users from the search results, although a bit tricky if you want to exclude all users.

    To remove all users from search results, the easiest way would be to modify the Search widget and add the filter type::-users.  That will return all search results where the type is not user.  You can find more details on the kind of filters you can do at telligent.com/.../example-search-queries.aspx and the fields filter against at telligent.com/.../search-fields-by-type.aspx .

    Steven if you are on 6.0 I believe that this can be achieved by updating a setting on all users user profiles that says "DISPLAY IN MEMBERS LIST" and this would hide the user from search for non admins. However this may also hide the user from non admins in the standard user lookup boxes on the private messaging, group membership pages etc.

    ok, I think you meant  type::-user  not users.  but I am having trouble with the negative symbol working.  I can get only users in my results by doing type:user, but i want everything but users.
