Omit Selected Paths

[meteorquake]

There's a frequent task where you have a long result list and it has items in folders of no interest that could be excluded to make the results list much more suitable, I think the GUI would benefit from a quick way to do this.
Suggested method:
Path column-header context menu "Omit Selected Folders from Results"

It would find the common denominators in the selected items and exclude them.
I think there are two ways of doing this, the first is to just put an exclusion formula in the search bar, which might be messy, so not ideal.
Another way would be to create a temporary hidden filter (that could be made visible to edit) e.g. _Exclusion202407241 to which it is assigned and that can be assigned to the search e.g. _Exclusion202407241: and any further exclusions could be added to such where found in the searcher (involving a searcher scan; if not a new exclusion name is formed), or more lazily just create a temporary exclusion filter for each exclusion action, as that would still be less messy than inserting a !path: statement for numerous paths.
On those lines there may be some benefit in having a specific symbol that is utilised by non-user filters which can be cleaned up on closure when not in session history for recall, e.g. an underscore, which I guess users could themselves use if creating something temporary.

Ah the dreaded shift-right-click which I never remember on any system because it's almost identical rather than an entirely different menu

However just to clarify, since I had forgotten about that, would the existing Omit system apply to all tabs and windows, since my comment is tab-specific, as you want to exclude only on a particular tab in question...

Temporary Omit is per tab.
Omit is global.
