Add metadata query parameter but not display with search results

Developers Query Processing

Hi,

Just wondering if it’s possible to add an additional query parameter, specifically a negated metadata one (-error:found or &meta_error_not=found) to the user supplied query, but not have it displayed to the user:

i.e.
1 to 10 results for [query]
not:
1 to 10 results for [query] -error:found

Maybe a pre-datafetch hook script?

You could try to use the system query parameter for this.

There are smeta CGI parameters that can be used (e.g. &smeta_Name=bob), though I’m not sure if all the modifiers are supported, or you can supply the value defined in the query language to the s parameter (e.g. &s=-error:found)

The smeta_not parameter will be helpful, but you’ll need to ensure you’re rendering the appropriate element in the UI.

response.resultPacket.queryAsProcessed will contain both the organic query and the system-generated constraint, whereas displaying response.resultPacket.query will display only the organic term.

Thanks @plevan and @gordongrace, smeta_error_not worked.
