I find it annoying when for example I am searching for action/adventure games and search results are mostly clickers or even visual novels.

Because of that I'd like to have a way to exclude specific tags, I understand that such feature would decrease the amount of search results, but that's a good thing because currently search results are filled with games that one isn't even interested in

See this old topic, or simply search the forum, because people ask all the time.

You keep linking to that archived topic in response to these requests and this continues to be a completely inadequate response. An obscure URL text command that cannot be combined with other filters is NOT a reasonable solution to this problem.

People "ask all the time" because you haven't solved the problem.

Itchio needs actual robust filtering options in its interface as has been described in detail on this forum many times now. This should be a much higher priority for the site as it significantly affects its usability making it very difficult to find games, which makes people not want to use the site to look for new games, which is bad.
