I have a couple forums that are RSS feed based and can be fairly active. I do not want those forums to show in the Get New Posts search and clutter the results. So I built this plugin to enable the admin to specify forum IDs that are excluded for the various search types:
Get New Posts
Get Today's Posts
Find Guest Posts
Find User Posts
Find User Threads
While the likelihood that one would use the last three options is very low, they are included for completeness.
Simply install the attached file into the \inc\plugins, and activate it. What it does is create a new settings group, "No Search Forum Exclusion" that has a master on/off switch and text boxes for CSV list of forum ID to exclude from each search type.
Update 1.0.1
Added fix for portal welcome box count of new posts/threads to exclude listed forums.

Lost interest, sold my sites, will browse here once in a while. It's been fun.
