Excluding folders from Repository Search?

Is there a way to exclude certain folders in the Repository from Search results? We have a lot of EOL and Archived content that I don't want always want to see results for. We are using KC 2016, version 12.0.2417.

Hi Rhonda,
Folders can't be excluded from search results, we got around it by changing the status on the documents to "Retired/Expired", and changing the defaults for search, to include all statuses except "Retired/Expired".

How do you change the search defaults to exclude "obsolete/retired/expired" status?

The search doesn't allow a black list, you will need to add the white list instead. The change would be made in metadataconfig.xml for Knowledge center and SearchNewGeneral.xml for the web client.
