Exclusion Filters
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Seemingly, almost all the modpacks on Modrinth are clones of Fabulously Optimized, or kitchen sink. For users simply seeking for example, a magick-oriented modpack, sifting through kitchen sink or optimization is unnecessary. If I already own the optimization mods I like/need, I've no reason to install an optimization pack - why even show them?
Describe the solution you'd like What I'm requesting is the ability to exclude certain tags from search, perhaps by a second click onto the checkbox. This would cut a tremendous amount of time when seeking a specific type of mod, or modpack.
Additional context This would also better discourage tag spam, as users searching for specific content would filter away redundant tags.
Already implemented on the backend, see the above linked issue for the frontend
https://github.com/modrinth/knossos/issues/516 is another one to look at, since exclusions probably shouldn't be limited to a full text based search
