 * Hi, I tried to exclude some url from the live search but it doesn’t work. I want
   to exclude every url with /cta/ in it (it’s a call to action plugin), I added:*
   cta* and */cta/* in the Exceptions field but these results still show up in the
   live search. Can you help me please?

 * It says right above the Exceptions setting:
 * > NOTE: These pages will still be returned in search results. This only disables
   > the Live Search feature for the search box on these pages.
