Excluding Pages from Search Feature
Is it possible to exclude pages in your site from the Search Box? There are some pages that I do not want to be seen when using the Search feature. For example, I have a donation button. After they finish the donation process it takes them to a Thank You page. That page should only be seen after they finish the Donation process. Currently, if you search "thank you" the Thank You page can be found. I thought in the past you could exclude pages from the Search but maybe I am mistaken.

The robots.txt file is a page published on your site that gives search engine bots crawling directions. This file is often used to protect private pages from getting crawled by search engines. Your robots.txt file will automatically be created when you publish your site. To customize it and exclude content from search engine crawling go to the Pages tab > Page you want to edit > SEO Settings > then select "Hide this page from search engines" and it will add the page to the robots.txt file and it will not be crawled by search engines. You can see your robots.txt file by going to www.yourdomain.com/robots.txt.
As an alternative you can use a "No Index Meta Tag" - Go to the Pages Tab > Select Your Page > SEO Settings > then copy and paste this html into the Header Code box...
<meta name="robots"content="noindex"/>

Thank you for that information. However, I am asking about how to have Weebly's own Search button not show certain pages. Currently it shows all pages such as my Thank You page in my example above.

If you check the option for a page to hide it from search engines, it will not only hide it from Google, Bing, etc, it will also hide it from our site search feature.

Just checking the hide from search engines didn't work, but adding the bit of code you suggested did. Thanks.
