Issue: How to prevent content such as list and document libraries from being indexed?
Solution:
- Open the Advanced Settings for a SharePoint List.
- Check the “No” for “Allow items from this document library to appear in search results?”
Note: SharePoint’s Object Model can also be used to programmatically set the list’s NoCrawl Property to false.
