Is there any way to omit a particular author from a search?

[RoissyAngel]

Hi,

I find that when I search for "black Dominatrix", "black Femdom", "black Domme" or "black Mistress" the search results are dominated - no pun intended - by stories from one particular author who has posted over 4,000 stories.

With all respect to that author those stories seem to be basically the same stories written again and again with just the names of the characters, their professions and their locations altered a bit. It is very frustrating trying to find other stories with those keywords not from that particular author.

If there is a way to exclude a particular author from a search it would save me having to wade through 4,000 search results that seem to dominate every search for the above mentioned keywords. It would also be more fair on other authors who have those themes in their stories showing up prominently in the searches.

I don't think there is way around this currently in the search. I have tried every possibility of date, relevancy, etc, etc, but keep running into the same problem. Anyone?

TIA.

Try sorting the results by ratings, it will give you a very different picture. Here one is ordered by the ratings and another one by the publication date, which is the default option.

Thank you AnnieLit.

Unfortunately AnnieLit's suggestion only worked for the first dozen or so results then that 4,000+ author's stories dominated the rest of the results. Very frustrating.
