Restrict Omnisearch files or folders from appearing in search engine results

[lucasbcgeo]

I would like some folders or files not to show up in the google search results. Is it possible?

I made these changes with the help of chatgpt. Sorry for any gross mistakes, I'm just starting to learn about dev. Just trying to help, dont know if it works =)

const gmc = new GM_config({
    id: "ObsidianOmnisearchGoogle",
    title: "Omnisearch in Google - Configuration",
    fields: {
        port: {
            label: "HTTP Port",
            type: "text",
            default: "51361",
        },
        nbResults: {
            label: "Number of results to display",
            type: "int",
            default: 3,
        },
        foldersToExclude: { // Adicionando o novo campo aqui
            label: "Folders to Exclude",
            type: "text",
            default: "",
            title: "Enter folder names to exclude from search results, separated by commas."
        }
    },
    events: {
        save: () => location.reload()
    }
});

Another modification:

    function omnisearch() {
        const port = gmc.get("port");
        const nbResults = gmc.get("nbResults");
        const foldersToExclude = gmc.get('foldersToExclude').split(',').map(folder => folder.trim());

        GM.xmlHttpRequest({
            method: "GET",
            url: `http://localhost:${port}/search?q=${query}`,
            headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
            onload: function (res) {
                const data = JSON.parse(res.response);
                const filteredData = data.filter(item => !foldersToExclude.some(folder => item.path.includes(folder)));

                removeLoadingLabel(filteredData.length > 0);
                filteredData.splice(nbResults);

                const resultsDiv = $(`#${resultsDivId}`);
                $("[data-omnisearch-result]").remove();

                for (const item of filteredData) {
                    const element = createSearchResultElement(item);
                    resultsDiv.append(element);

for (const item of filteredData) {
    const element = $(`

You're welcome to try your own code, improve it if needed, and submit a PR if it works :)

Just a small tip: !foldersToExclude.some(folder => item.path.includes(folder)) will just check if one of the excluded folders is present in the note's path, regardless if it's correctly separated by / or not.
i.e. if you exclude foo, bar, baz and your note's path is some/folder/thathasbar/in/the/path, it will be excluded.

IMO, a better way to implement this is to exclude specific folders with their full path from root (like some/folder/thathasbar) instead of just looking if the path partially matches, which could lead to false positives.
