Find 23.2

# Exclude Databases from Queries

In the default configuration, Find sends queries to all your IDOL databases. You can change the default database selection by excluding some databases in your Find configuration file (`config.json`). In this case, the databases are not included in a query by default, but users can explicitly select the databases if they want to search them.

To exclude certain databases from queries by default

1. Go to the Find home directory.
2. Open `config.json` in a text editor.

3. In the `uiCustomization` section, set the `defaultDeselectedDatabases` property to an array of databases that you want to exclude from the list of databases that Find queries by default.

   For example:

       "uiCustomization": {
          "defaultDeselectedDatabases": [
             "multilingual"
          ]
       }

4. Restart Find to apply your configuration changes.
