Hello,
I just went through,
https://blog.ambar.cloud/mastering-ambar-search-queries/

but couldn't find a way to exclude certain file type or a directory from result.

Is there any way to do so yet?

Nope, it can't be done via query. But you can exclude files during crawling. Check the latest installation instruction

You can set ignoreFolders, ignoreExtensions, ignoreFileNames options in your crawler's environment section in .yml-file
