Description
Hi everyone,
In Bitbucket Data Center 8.0 we have released repository archiving. Admins can now archive unused repositories to declutter Bitbucket. We have also added a search modifier archived: to help users filter archived repositories in code search:
| Query | Usage |
|---|---|
| archived:true | Matches only repositories that are archived. |
| archived:false | Matches only repositories that are active. Note that this filter is used by default. |
| archived:* | Matches all repositories (both archived and active) |
We understand that is not exactly what you expect, but repository archiving gives many customers path forward to exclude old, unused repositories from search results.

Problem Definition
Code search does not allow you to exclude projects and or repositories. The documentation states that if multiple modifiers are in a query they are implicitly combined using "AND". No such functionality exists to exclude or use "NOT" with modifiers if you are wanting to exclude a project or repository from your text search.
<more information needed - why is this a problem?>
Suggested Solution
Allow code search to exclude projects and or repositories. Example queries below:
# Search for the word "text" everywhere EXCEPT repository Test. text NOT repo:test # Search for the word "text" everywhere EXCEPT project Test. text NOT project:test
