# Advanced

Within the advanced settings, it is possible to personalize which collections will remain hidden from the search function.

### Exclude collections

Enter the collection handle of a collection you wish to exclude from searches. These can be special collections created for demonstration, wholesale, etc. 

The collection handle is found in the Search engine listing section of the Collection (bottom) set up in the Shopify admin:

<figure><img src="/files/P7SPNE6caNbZIjwYsxd5" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can exclude multiple collections, and separate each one by a comma and space:

<figure><img src="/files/e2yGV3AHNKx2N3BO4IAD" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Exclude collections if they contain

Wildcard exclusion. Use this for autogenerated collections, Siblings, etc.&#x20;

This setting also uses the collection handle. However, only a portion of the handle. For example, if your sibling collections all begin with `siblings--` followed by unique names, then you can add `siblings--` or even `sibling` here.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://story.groupthought.com/settings/theme-settings/advanced.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
