Topic: Prevent forum from showing up in search results

Is there an easy way to prevent a particular forum from showing up in search results?

I want people to still have permissions to the forum, just no appear in search results such as "action=show_24h".

Re: Prevent forum from showing up in search results

Which search results?
Search results from an external search engine like Google?
Or search results from the internal Punbb search system?

You can limit the forums to be searched at line 125 of "<FORUM_ROOT>/search.php" by editing the value of $forum_sql variable.

Thanks Slavok, I'll give that a go.

I'm sorry, but change the value from what to what?
