I want to filter url which not include ".doc",".zip",".pdf" etc.
I use query: -url.keyword:_.doc OR -url.keywork:_.zip OR -url.keywork:\*.pdf. it works.
When i try the syntax:-url.keywork:\*.(doc|zip|pdf),but it failed.
Is there way to simplify the exclude query syntax?

Does `-url.keyword:/.*\.(doc|zip|pdf)/` work for you? I believe above is a combo of a regex and glob style, so going with a full regex should get us moving in the right direction.
