    Is there a way to exclude pages from appearing in search results?

    I don't want to use an third party module

    Maybe a workaround in the database

      If you uncheck Allow Indexing on the page settings and re-index the search it will disappear from the results

        Thanks Justin!

        I thought this only worked for index Google bot etc. but you're right it also affects the DNN search index

          I thought the same and that is what the documentation states it is used for, but after testing I did confirm it also relates to the local search.
