Apple Community Search but limit responses to not include Vision Pro

I want to search the Apple Community content but I'm getting too many hits related to "Vision Pro" that I do not wasn't to see. A typical search would be ...


Apple Mail -Vision Pro


How does Search in Apple Communities block some content we don't need to see?

Mac Studio, macOS 15.2

I've found that the usual codes like your minus sign that work in big search engine do not work for the in-forum search function here.


Apple are not alone: I encounter many in-site search function that show the same limitation.


A site-delimited search string in a regular search engine might be more productive. You can restrict a search to just these forums by starting the search string with:


site:discussions.apple.com


or limit to Apple Support with:


site:support.apple.com


noting that there is no space between the colon folowing "site" and the "d" in "discussion.


You can further limit results by adding a quoted phrase like "reset SMC," useful when searching Support


Search for Mail questions is more troublesome here. Mail is different for each Apple device and treated separtately. For many devices, it is best to look/ask in the main device topic list: iPhone; iPad; Apple Watch; Vision, etc. For Mac computers, its best to look in the forum section for the specific macOS version:


macOS - Apple Community


If you've not found the forum site map yet (Apple tucks it three levels down) you may wish to bookmark it:


Site Map - Apple Community


As our mods will not respond here, you can contact them by email. The mail address is listed several times in the Terms of Use document for the forums:
