# Blacklists

The blacklist management features of IDOL Data Admin allow you to set up and manage a list of terms that are automatically excluded from any query. If a user searches for a term that you added to the blacklist, the search results that they see do not include the blacklisted term.

You can add terms to the blacklist from the Keywords page in IDOL Data Admin.

CAUTION: You cannot add Boolean operators such as AND, OR, or NOT to the list of blacklisted terms.

To add terms to the blacklist

1. In the main navigation on the left of the page, click Keywords. The Keywords page opens.
2. Click New.
3. Click Blacklisted Terms.
4. Click the arrow next to the Language list, then select the language for the blacklisted terms.

5. Click Continue.

6. Type the terms that you want to add to the blacklist, then click +. Separate multiple terms with a space. To remove a term, click the x next to it.
7. After you have added all the terms that you want to blacklist, click Finish. IDOL Data Admin adds the terms that you entered to the blacklist.

You can view and edit your blacklisted terms and other keywords on the main Keywords page (see Keywords Page for more information).
