    thanks for helping!

    below is the code that i am using. i also have what you suggested ‘search_filter’ function in my function.php file. However, it’s still not working. can you please suggest how i can fix this problem?

    function search_filter($query) {
  if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
    if ($query->is_search) {
      $query->set('category__not_in', array( 1164 ) );
    }
  }
}
add_action('pre_get_posts','search_filter');
    <?php
	global $wp_query, $query_string;
	$paged = get_query_var('paged');
	$term = get_query_var('s');
	$args = array (
		'posts_per_page' => '15',
		'paged' => $paged,
		'order' => 'DESC'
	);
	query_posts($args);
	$numpages = $wp_query->max_num_pages;
	$numposts = $wp_query->found_posts;
?>

	<?php if( have_posts() ) : ?>
    	<?php while( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
                <a>">
                    <span><?php the_title(); ?></span>
                </a>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
	<?php endif; ?>
    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

<?php if ( $numpages > 1 && $paged < $numpages) : ?>
    <?php echo next_posts_link( '  »   '); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( $paged > 1 ) : ?>
    <?php echo previous_posts_link( '  «   ' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    I have tried using array for category__not_in parameter, still the same results, category 1164 posts still shows up.

    i am using custom theme. The search.php just has basic query and then loop through the query to display each post. I am using the exact same code for search and for category. The category__not_in parameter works in category, and 1164 is removed. But in search, it doesn’t work.

    $paged = get_query_var( 'paged' );
$cat = get_query_var( 'cat' );
$term = get_query_var('s');
$order = 'DESC';

$args = array(
	'posts_per_page' => '15',
	'cat' => $cat,
	'paged' => $paged,
	'category__not_in' => array('1164'),
	'order' => $order
);

$loop = new WP_Query($args);
