Exclude Asset from Search not working

Matrix Version: 5.5.3.3

I want to exclude a page (and all other pages nested underneath it).

I have a page called “Documentation” with a whole lot of other pages nested underneath it.
I want to exclude the “Documentation” page and all other nested pages from search.

Here are the steps I used (Which haven’t worked)…

  1. Using Asset Tree Weights, selected the “Documentation” asset -> Customise Asset Types -> Selected Standard Page -> Updated “Enable Indexing” to “No”.
  2. In Search Manager details, re-indexed the “Documentation” Asset.

After doing the above steps, I open a Cognito window, and even use /_nocache after the website, however the page still remains in search.

Any ideas?

Answered in Exclude an asset from search - #6 by Bart but will add here as well.

On the Details screen of the Search Page, try simply adding that page as an Excluded Root Node in this field.
