## ئورنىتىش

 1. Upload `search-exclude` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ›Plugins‹ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to any post/page edit page and check off the checkbox `Exclude from Search Results`
    if you don’t want the post/page to be shown in the search results

## FAQ

### Does this plugin affect SEO?

No, it does not affect crawling and indexing by search engines.
 The ONLY thing 
it does is hiding selected post/pages from your site search page. Not altering SEO
indexing.

If you want posts/pages to be hidden from search engines you may add the following
snippet to your `functions.php`:

    ```
    function add_meta_for_search_excluded()
    {
        global $post;
        if (false !== array_search($post->ID, get_option('sep_exclude', array()))) {
            echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />', "\n";
        }
    }
    add_action('wp_head', 'add_meta_for_search_excluded');
    ```

Note: already indexed pages will remain indexed for quite a while. In order to remove
them from Google index, you may use Google Search Console (or similar tool for other
engines).

### Are there any hooks or actions available to customize plugin behaviour?

Yes.
 There is an action `searchexclude_hide_from_search`. You can pass any post/
page/custom_post ids as an array in the first parameter. The second parameter specifies
state of visibility in search. Pass true if you want to hide posts/pages, or false–
if you want show them in the search results.

Example:
 Let’s say you want «Exclude from Search Results» checkbox to be checked
off by default for newly created posts, but not pages. In this case you can add 
following code to your theme’s function.php:

    ```
    add_filter('default_content', 'exclude_new_post_by_default', 10, 2);
    function exclude_new_post_by_default($content, $post)
    {
        if ('post' === $post->post_type) {
            do_action('searchexclude_hide_from_search', array($post->ID), true);
        }
    }
    ```

Also there is a filter `searchexclude_filter_search`.
 With this filter you can 
turn on/off search filtering dynamically. Parameters: $exclude – current search 
filtering state (specifies whether to filter search or not) $query – current WP_Query
object

By returning true or false you can turn search filtering respectively.

Example:
 Let’s say you need to disable search filtering if searching by specific
post_type. In this case you could add following code to you functions.php:

    ```
    add_filter('searchexclude_filter_search', 'filterForProducts', 10, 2);
    function filterForProducts($exclude, $query)
    {
        return $exclude && 'product' !== $query->get('post_type');
    }
    ```

Does what it needs to do. Good and fit for purpose. I can hide pages and make sure
its specific for an invited audience only.

It took me literally years to find out that (for instance) the download pages of
my freebies could and would come up in every search result on my page. Thanks to
this plugin they don’t anymore and it was a breeze to install and to implement, 
so all 5 stars: well deserved!

This plugin is THE key to helping our website visitors and customers find what they
are looking for. (By blocking all the less important pages that happen to contain
popular keywords.)

Really great if you don’t want (part of) your site indexed by search engines.
