SearchWP Exclude UI 1.2.5

SearchWP Exclude UI is a WordPress plugin built for sites using SearchWP. It adds an easy “exclude from search” control directly on the WordPress edit screens for each entry. Instead of switching to the main SearchWP settings to manage exclusions, you can quickly tailor which content appears in site search while you’re already editing the page or post.

This streamlines content workflows in WordPress and helps keep search results more relevant for visitors. With the checkbox available inside the editor experience, teams can reduce confusion from outdated, duplicate, or non-searchable content—without disrupting their existing SearchWP setup.

Main Features

• Edit-screen exclusion checkbox — Adds a tick box to exclude a specific entry from SearchWP results.
• Works with SearchWP settings — Extends SearchWP’s exclusion options using the same underlying configuration.
• Inline content control — Manage search visibility at the time you create or update content.
• Applies to individual entries — Lets you target specific posts/pages (and other supported entry types) instead of broad site-wide rules.
• Reduces workflow switching — Avoids repeatedly moving between the editor and SearchWP’s main settings screen.
• Improves editorial accuracy — Helps prevent accidental inclusion of content that shouldn’t appear in search.
• Familiar WordPress experience — Uses UI patterns editors already expect inside WordPress admin.

Benefits

• More relevant results — Visitors see content that matches intent, improving perceived quality of the search.
• Better user experience — Less irrelevant or outdated content reduces frustration and improves navigation.
• Faster content operations — Exclusion decisions are made during editing, saving time across your workflow.
• Cleaner search discovery — Teams can keep internal search aligned with what’s actually intended to be searchable.
• Consistent behavior — Exclusions follow a clear, per-entry method that’s easier to audit and maintain.

Who is it suitable for?

• WordPress site owners using SearchWP for internal site search
• Content teams managing many posts, pages, or custom entries
• Agencies building and maintaining WordPress websites with complex content
• E-commerce and marketing sites where some content should not appear in search
