I have joined the TIDBITS AutoCorrect Group which honestly is a game changer. However I am now having an issue that my searches are quite clogged with additional listings since there are so many words. Is it possible to exclude a group of snippets from the global search? If not, could it be submitted for a feature request? Thanks!

Hi, @AmandaEdson, I’ll flag this for product as a feature request.

I tend to just subscribe to a public group and then copy over the snippets I’m interested in. I then unsubscribe again. Otherwise, as you’ve outlined, things can get far too cluttered without the ability to exclude a group from inline search. I’d take this over an MCP any day.😉

I usually do this but I am a horrible speller and this group has a ton of common misspelled words so it has been a great help to just autocorrect.

I would be delighted with this feature too !  
I have a “Archive” group that I would like to disable for the drop-down menu.
