Hi,

I have a situation where my query returns:

GET /fundraising/alice  
GET /fundraising/benny

I would like the response to be

GET /alice  
GET /benny

I tried in my exclude pattern:

|./\fundraising/.

If I use ./fundraising/.| it will completely exclude all pages leading with fundraising which isn't what I want.

How can I achieve this?

Is this the actual value?  
And you just want to remove the `/fundraising` from the actual displayed response in KB?

Or you only want to search on;

> [@trekr5](#):
>
> GET /alice

Hi,

The actual response comes back as GET /fundraising/alice but I'd like to remove the /fundraising so that /alice is displayed (customer request).

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks

That is not possible.
