Add options to exclude content via facet selection
The current functionality of Vega Discovery allows patrons to filter their search results by selecting one or more facets from the left-hand panel. However, there is no option to exclude results. For example, a patron who is looking for books on history may want to exclude ebooks or audiobooks from the results.
This enhancement request proposes to add an option to exclude content via facet selection and or other means. This would allow patrons to refine their search results more effectively and find the most relevant resources for their needs.
Adding an option to exclude content via facet selection would improve the user experience and satisfaction by giving patrons more control over their search results. It would reduce the number of irrelevant results and increase the precision of the search. And it would align with the best practices of other discovery systems that offer this functionality.

This is regular request by customers when searching for materials. It increases the browsability of the user and allows for a more nuanced search.

It would be great to be able to exclude things like reference books or other items that are on shelf but not available for check out (affiliate library collections, rare books, etc.).
