” Whenever i do a search on my Gmail Inbox, i get all the chat results also in the search result page. Is it possible to exclude the chat results in the search? “

Yes. It is possible to exclude Chat from Gmail Search Results. In order to do so, all you need to do is type in -label:Chat in the search string typed in the Gmail search box.

-label:Chat in the query string filters and removes all the chat conversations from search results.

+label:Chat in the query string ensures that search results only from Chat conversations are shown in the search results page.

    I have a similar question. Is there a way for the filters to exclude CHATS? I don’t want CHATS in my labels, but I don’t know how to specify this.

    Thank you!
