Overview
This snippet removes selected pages from all WordPress search results. Replace the sample IDs with your page IDs (find them by hovering over a page title in the Pages list or use a plugin like “Show IDs”). Once added, those pages will no longer appear in searches sitewide, which is useful if you want to hide landing pages, thank-you pages, or other non-public content from showing up in results.
