Yes, you can't use wildcards with restrict and exclude. It does simple
substring matching. If you remove the stars it should work.

That's better (again without the star) if you only want to exclude that
particular directory rather than any /infrastructure/ directory.
> Also, if I have three directories I want excluded, say:

> http://www.mysite.com/site/larry/
> http://www.mysite.com/site/curly/
> http://www.mysite.com/site/moe/

<input type="hidden" name="exclude"
value="http://www.mysite.com/site/larry/|http://www.mysite.com/site/curly/|http://www.mysite.com/site/moe/">
or you can have multiple definitions of the exclude parameter, with a
separate value for each, and htsearch will combine them into a vertical
bar separated list. This allows you, for instance, to use checkboxes or
a select multiple list in your form.
> And can I do the opposite with restrict?
Yes. Same syntax.
