OSD Exclude From Search Results plugin allows you to quickly remove a page, blog post, or ANY custom post type (including ACF) from showing up in your site's search results. This only changes the search results for the end user, not in the admin pages. The plugin adds a simple check box to the edit / create post screen and a new bulk action to the list view to remove the post or page from the search results. Now includes an admin screen to customize what post types you would like to manage with this plugin. Remove an entire post type from search results with a click of a button. It is extremely light weight, only 60 lines of code including the checkbox, so your site search will not slow down at all. Now you can exclude pages from menus!

Q: Hi, I see under "other notes" you've said: "Can be modified with one line of code to include custom post types" Unless I'm being stupid (always a possibility!) I can't see anywhere that tells you how to do that?
