 * I have 6 posts on my site. I excluded one post by ID and ran the indexing process,
   but the result shows:
 * Counting posts… 6 posts found.
   Indexed 6 posts (total 6), processed 6 / 6.Indexing
   complete. 0 posts excluded.

 * How exactly did you exclude the post by ID?

 * in Searching/Exclusion Rules & Filters I entered the ID number and saved the 
   change, then I reindexed.

 * That’s not an indexing exclusion: it only blocks the post from the search (note
   that it’s under Searching settings, not under Indexing settings). So it’s correct
   the post is still indexed. There are ways to unindexed the post completely; the
   easiest is to use Premium and check the “Exclude this post from the index” checkbox
   on the post edit page.

 * I’m translating Premium and I tested it with Premium. This setting is the same
   as the free version.

 * Yes, but Premium has an actual search index exclude setting in the post edit 
   page. If you have trouble locating it, please contact Premium support; I can’t
   help you with Premium features here on the free version forums.

 * Yes, if I exclude it from the post editing area, it works. I think the Premium
   version needs to be tweaked a bit.

 * We welcome suggestions for Premium at Relevanssi Premium support. We’re not allowed
   to discuss the topic here, so I’ll have to ask you to move this conversation 
   to the right place – I’m happy to continue it there.

 * I don’t have a Relevanssi Premium account. Christoph gave me Premium without 
   a key; I just need to do the translations.
