Can you hide index subpages from your site's search results?

I'm using the Brine 7.0 template for my website and I would like to hide index subpages from the search results so that only the main index page is shown and site visitors are navigated to see all of the relevant content, not just the subpage. Is this possible using redirect links or search customization? I've been looking for a solution for a while now and I don't mind if it's a work-around, I just need a solution to this.

Hey BrookeHVT, 

You can prevent specific pages on your site from displaying in search results in page settings > SEO > Hide from Search Engines. Check this great Squarespace help article for more details:

Hiding pages from search engine results

 

@srodrigues, I'm sorry I didn't specify, I'm actually trying to remove the index subpages from the native site search that I have in my website header. Is there a solution for this?

Hey again, 

Thanks for clarifying! I've adjusted the post title so it better reflects what you are trying to achieve.

Likewise I have exactly the same issue.

It is very bad experience for people searching. 

Because index pages can be made up of many subpages that are simple... like a CTA or just a background image and a title for example,

The search results link directly to the individual internal pages, which misformat when not viewed in an index structure and just have no real info.

i have a client who considering scraping the project because the site search is so poor.

I'm also hoping this function will be implemented soon, I do not want visitors to see individual index pages or pages that I'm using as light boxes as native search results.
