I need to exclude a brand name of products from the CMS search results without deleting the actual pages. I only need to exclude the name of the brand. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished or what the code it I need to add?

Where exactly do I place that code? Is this the exact code I use? 'where' => " brand != 'xerox' "; (change xerox to the name I need to exclude)
I know HTML, but not so much PHP.
Thank you.

Replace "brand" with the fieldname you use to store brands in, and "xerox" with the brand you want to exclude, and then add that line to your getRecords() code at the top of your viewer page.
Give that a try and if it doesn't work attach your viewer page with the "Upload Attachment" feature and I'll take a look at the code for you.
Hope that helps!

I don't have a viewer page. Are you talking about search-results.php?

Yes, we call the pages with the generated code "viewer pages", but search-results.php is likely it.
Any luck adding the code?

Let me know if you receive the upload. First time doing this in a forum.

The code would look something like this:
list($productsRecords, $productsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'products',
'perPage' => '10',
'where' => "brand != 'xerox'",
));In this example, we are saying don't return any records from the products section that have "xerox" in their brand field. All you should need to do is replace "brand" with the name of the field where you are storing your brands, and "xerox" with the name of the brand you want to exclude.
Give this a try and let me know if you run into any problems.
Hope this helps
