Excluding pixiv-sourced images

Hi, sorry if this is an issue that's already been discussed. I've done a fair bit of googling and haven't found a solution, so I thought I'd post here.

I wanted to know if there's a way to exclude images that attribute their source to pixiv. I've tried the cheatsheet method, but I get the 'Error 504 Gateway time-out' page. Using wildcard markers automatically bring up the "search took too long to execute" page or don't actually exclude images from pixiv (e.g. -source:pixiv*).

I love pixiv, but browsing the site is something I already do, and I'd like to avoid the excessive work that comes with double checking to see if I'm downloading a duplicate image.

Pixiv changed their URLs around 10 months ago, I think.
You need to include something like -source:*i.pximg* in your search if you want to exclude the newer images.

The problem with the variants of -source:i.pximg is that I get the gateway timeout.

Try adding age parameters to your search if it times out.

Date or ID ranges can work as well. The benefit to using those is that the window of posts doesn't drift over time.

That worked beautifully! Thanks a lot, both of you.
