I'd imagine this question has been asked, but I have searched and didn't find anything (if already answered I'd appreciate a link).

Is it possible to block certain sections from appearing in the "new posts" search results?

For example: Is there a way to stop any topics posted in the general discussion section from appearing in the "new posts" search results?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I believe that would not be possible.  The new post list would be different for each member.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I understand that the search results would be different for each member, but could certain sections be blocked from the results so that they do not appear at all (for any member).

On our forum (www.honda-haven.com) we have some non-car related sections, such as general discussion, help and resources, etc. 

Members are complaining about the amount of non-car related topics appearing in the "new posts" search.

They only want results from certain sections to appear.

One way is have your members watch forums and topics that they want to receive notifications about new posts.

There is probably more but if we could block these it would be awesome.

 $('li.row span.span-tab a[href*="/f26-"]').closest('li').attr("id","blahhh");
 $('li.row span.span-tab a[href*="/f84-"]').closest('li').attr("id","blahhh");
 $('li.row span.span-tab a[href*="/f130-"]').closest('li').attr("id","blahhh");

Thanks i'll try that and report back.

My apologies for the reaction you got on our site, we have had to deal with scams before so please excuse the response you received from other members

This appears to have been successful.

Can I also ask, is there also a way to add a new link where only certain posts are displayed?

For example:
Could we add a link to display new posts related to the market section only?

(select certain sections only, rather than block certain sections)

not that i can think of but if you want to block another section just add a new line

Code:

 $('li.row span.span-tab a[href*="/f28-"]').closest('li').attr("id","blahhh");

just replace the 28 in F28- with the # in the link to that section
