 * Hey,
 * Just installed and it worked great! I get that it has minimal settings (which
   is want we want) but I just need one thing – to be able to exclude certain pages/
   posts based on page ID.
 * Is that possible? Really don’t want to upgrade to the much heavier version just
   for that one thing.
 * Thanks
 * Tim

 * Sure, you can do that: WP_Query has the parameter `post__not_in` for that. [See WP_Query documentation](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#post-page-parameters).
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function( $query ) {
         if ( $query->is_search() ) {
           $query->set( 'post__not_in', array( 1, 2, 3 ) );
         }
       } );
       ```
