Search Exclude

Introducing Search Exclude, the powerful yet simple plugin designed to give you complete control over your WordPress search results.

Search Exclude is here to make managing your site’s search functionality effortless. Want to keep certain pages, posts, or content hidden from your
internal search results while keeping everything else visible? We’ve got you covered with an intuitive solution that works right where you need it.

Features

  • One-Click Exclusion: Simply check a box on any post or page edit screen to hide it from search results. No complex settings or
    configurations needed.
  • Works With All Content Types: Exclude posts, pages, custom post types, and even attachments from your search results with
    ease.
  • Quick & Bulk Edit Support: Need to exclude multiple items at once? Use WordPress’s built-in quick edit or bulk actions to show or
    hide content from search in seconds.
  • Centralized Management: View all your excluded items in one convenient settings page. Keep track of everything you’ve hidden from
    search at a glance.
  • SEO-Friendly: Rest easy knowing this plugin only affects your internal site search. Search engines like Google will still crawl
    and index your content normally.
  • Developer-Ready Hooks: Customize behavior with built-in actions and filters. Programmatically control what’s excluded or create
    custom exclusion rules to fit your workflow.
  • Editor Compatibility: Works seamlessly with both the Classic Editor and Block Editor (Gutenberg), so you can work the way you
    prefer.
  • Plugin Compatibility: Plays nicely with popular plugins like Advanced Custom Fields, Yoast SEO, Content Control, and bbPress.
  • Dynamic Control: Use the searchexclude_filter_search filter to turn exclusions on or off based on conditions like post type or
    user role.
