How to exclude a list of files besides |!filename?

[Turok]

I need to exclude a list of files from the search results, it should be dynamic meaning that I can add more files to this list on-the-fly and the file list gets updated and excludes the new added files. I guess there must be a way to do it using a .efu exclusion but I'm unable to find it. Is there a way to achieve this?
Basically I want to replicate !file|!file2... without having to add each file manually plus avoiding to saturate the search bar with an infinite line of text.

What version of Everything are you using?

Everything 1.4 is limited to the long !<file1|file2|file3|etc...> list.

Everything 1.5 has file list slots.
Include the following in your search:

!filelist1:

Right click the !filelist1: text in your search box and click Edit File List Slot....
Add your files/folders to exclude.

Temporarily omit results is another option for Everything 1.5.

Perfect, this will work. I'm under 1.5 and ctrl+click/f2 works, but when right clicking "Edit File List Slot" is missing. A way to turn it on?

Also:
How long do file list slot last?

Until you close the Everything Search window.
Click the Export button in the file list slot editor to save your file list to disk.

Only way to save it is to export it and import it using the method above for every session? Not a big deal but to confirm it.

There's no way to turn it off.
Please make sure your right click on the !filelist1: text.

Correct.

If you are excluding files, please consider omit results.
Result omissions will persist between sessions.

Ok, I don't want to omit from the index, only from the search, so this will be. Is it planned to add the option of saving the filelist? maybe where you say "Named file list slots" will allow it?

Yes I'm right clicking it:

Omit results doesn't exclude from your index.
Result omissions can be toggled instantly.

I will consider a persistent setting for file list slots.
Thank you for the suggestion.
