The original poster reported that initial code attempts caused errors appearing at the top of the screen. A second user with the Dawn theme has the same issue and shared their code seeking help. The thread remains open with multiple solution attempts provided but unclear final resolution.
Hi, I am trying to hide pages from showing up in search results on my site and on google. I have found some code from other articles but cannot seem to get it to work.Attached is a photo showing the search results with the pages showing up. I am using the theme label and my site url is https://brandonthorne.com/
<input type=hidden name=type value="product,article">
Which theme are you using?
Hi There,
Thanks for reaching out! Which theme are you using?
@Jay Hi, I am using the theme label
Thank you for your response. Are you able to share the code from the search results section? I don’t know this theme, some of the themes allow you to choose what to show on the results page from the customize theme editor.
Hello @bthorne1 
You can go to Shopify Admin, Themes, Edit code, open file theme.css.liquid (or similar) and add this code snippet at the bottom
#facets-filterable .lg:col-span-3 {
display: none;
}
The result
Hope that helps!

You can read this blog for more details on hiding pages from Shopify search
To block Google from indexing your page, you can use what’s called a robots HTML tag with the noindex content.
You can hide the pages from search engines by customizing the section of your store’s theme.liquid layout file. You need to include some code to noindex particular pages.
Steps required:
{% if handle contains ‘product-handle-you-want-to-exclude’ %}
{% endif %}
Replace product-handle-you-want-to-exclude with the product handle you want to exclude.

@ZenoPageBuilder @flareAI I have tried both of this code but have not been able to get it to work. Once added this appeared at top of the screen.
@Jay here is the code on the main search liquid. I have already selected within the theme editor to only show products.
{% comment %}theme-check-disable MissingTemplate{% endcomment %}
{% paginate search.results by 10 %}

assign section_color = ‘primary’
assign enable_filtering = section.settings.enable_filtering

if enable_filtering == true
assign show_filters = true
endif
endif
assign main_class = ‘lg:col-span-12’
if show_filters
assign sidebar_class = ‘lg:col-span-2’
assign main_class = ‘lg:col-start-4 lg:col-span-9’

Replace the following
With the following:
This is a hack though. Its not the most ideal
The other option is to do a real fix.
Replace the entire code with the below:
{% comment %}theme-check-disable MissingTemplate{% endcomment %}
{% paginate search.results by 10 %}
{%- liquid
assign section_color = 'primary'
assign enable_filtering = section.settings.enable_filtering

assign sidebar_class = 'lg:col-span-2'
assign main_class = 'lg:col-start-4 lg:col-span-9'
endif
assign sort_by = search.sort_by | default: search.default_sort_by
assign terms = search.terms | escape
