Really useful information. Thanks for sharing this. I’m surprised that by default WordPress does not ignore pages while performing searches.

Hi Tony, Now that you gave me the idea. Perhaps I will write on that for my next post. Thanks Addendum: I cannot find a solution to this (excluding only certain pages) using the functions.php. My research on this will continue, but for now, my older method can help you. This post already stated the problem of that older method, but if you have less than 10 pages, the problem will not have noticeable impact on the performance of your site.

I am setting up a WordPress site now. Is there any way to prevent individual static pages from appearing in the WordPress search while allowing other ones to appear?

Thanks
