Hi @magicmiles,
I think that’s a great feature, adding a does not contain
filter within Live Traffic.
I did some searching and noticed that it was already in our system of suggestions (Internal Ref: #FB4054).
If there’s any update on this feature, I’ll ping this thread.

Dave,
Thanks for responding. However, this wasn’t a ‘feature’ request.
My question is still outstanding.
How do I filter out multiple items ? Or is it even possible at all ? It doesn’t appear that it is but from the interface shown that it does appear to be possible. But that’s not what’s happening if it is a feature of advanced filter.
Secondarily, the issue of not blocking /feed or /feed/rss doesn’t seem to work even on it’s own. Do I have to provide the FULL url ? or just a partial as in just ‘/feed/’ ????
I’m also trying to filter out the bots, all of them, and in that sample filter, I wanted to add in googlebot, msnbot, etc….but i can’t seem to get it to do that.
How would I write the USER agent statement in this case. Shouldn’t it do a contain ? or does NOT contain ?
Thanks.

Hi again,
It is possible to use multiple filters.
The reason the ≠
filter isn’t working is because it only matches the entire URL, not part of it.
You’ll want to set the filter as URL ≠ https://your-full-website.com/feed/
, and even then, it will only remove the exact match, /feed/rss
will still show up.
As for removing BingBot or any other bot, you’ll also need to use a does not contain
filter, as the ≠
filter only returns results that does not match the exact user agent.
In all cases, you’ll be able to achieve your desired result if a does not contain
filter existed.

Dave,
Thanks for responding. I do appreciate that.
Can we expect a DOES NOT CONTAIN filter item anytime soon ?
I am a paying customer so I’m asking for me….
That said, I’m wondering why your suggestion is failing….

As you can see from the image, I have added in the full URL, and the filtered item is STILL showing up …. ummm, that’s probably not supposed to happen is it ?
Miles.
