I would like to suggest a 'shortcut' feature for Alternate Name.

If I could put a minus in front of a Name - that theoretically would allow me to remove those names from Search results.

If I could add a list of names to remove from the Search - that would be even better.

Advantage: Allow removal of specific Alternate Names from Results

Disadvantage: It doesn't operate that way in beta.familysearch.org/search. It would have to be a future feature and filter options would be the current way to reduce Results.
