Filter search results to exclude PDFs

Hi

Apologies if there has already been a thread on this, but I can't seem to find one.

I like the indexing feature for PDFs, but would also like the option to exclude PDFs from searches. Often I am searching for a specific article using an author and/or fragment of a title, but I often have to plough through a lot of PDFs to find the citation I am looking for.

Can this be done?

Thanks

    I don't think you can exclude pdfs, no - but in the advanced search you can, of course, specify to only search in certain fields - e.g. you could search just in title or abstract or just in author or abstract etc.
