Can advance search feature exclude animation

Hi, ocellaigh: While the option to exclude animation titles is not available as a direct selection, you can exclude specific genres by manually modifying the URL that generates the search. For instance, suppose you want to perform a title search with the word “monster”. Note the URL generated and the results: URL: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title=monster Now see what happens to the URL if you include only horror titles and exclude documentaries: URL: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title=monster&genres=horror,!documentary The string &genres= is used to filter genres, separated by commas, and you can edit the URL manually to adapt it to your needs, taking into account, however, three rules: If you put an exclamation mark before the genre, that genre will be excluded from the search. For instance: &genres=!romance will exclude romance titles. If you concatenate several genres to be included, the logical operator AND is used, I mean, the titles must have all of the genres listed. For instance: &genres=action,fantasy will display titles that have both the action and fantasy genres, not just one of them. If you concatenate several genres to be excluded, the logical operator OR is used, I mean, the title can't have any of the genres listed. For instance: &genres=!thriller,!horror won't display thriller titles, horror titles or both (thriller+horror) titles. So, if from my original search for titles with the word “monster” I want to exclude animation titles, I just add the string &genres=!animation to the URL, and this is the result: URL: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title=monster&genres=!animation Hope it helps. Cheers!

Imagine I'm looking for a movie, or looking through my list. I want to find something suitable that I like, for example thrillers, and I'll see movies with additional genres such as comedy or horror, which is not always combined with a thriller. I would like to exclude these genres, since I don't like them, I think this will help both me and other people to search for new movies excluding genres they don't like Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled exclude ganre
