Exclude message from hidden boards in search results

Hi VikasB,

There is a partial solution where you can adjust the default see and read permissions for hidden boards to deny. So, that admins can get the results but not normal/regular users. For more info you can just go through this link

Just sharing my thought :)

Thanks,

Hi satya Thanks. But yes, it partial solution. It would not work when I want to exclude the messages from some specific boards in recent post widget but want to keep those boards accessible to end users. In such cases I do not think so there would be any other option than manually exclude those boards like below. 

<#assign excIds = ["Id1", "Id2","Id3"] />  //boards ids from which messages need to be excluded
<#assign msgs= rest( "2.0", "/search?q=" + "select * from messages order by post_time desc"?url).data />
<#list msgs.items as msg>
<#if excIds?seq_index_of(msg.board.id)== -1 >
//do something here
</#if>
</#list>
