Preservation Hold Library results in Search

Has anyone else had their community of users give feedback that results from the Preservation and Hold libraries are showing in their search results and it's getting in the way of search results for other documents? We can set the library to not be indexed in search, but that defeats the purpose of the library. Retain data so that it could be referenced should it need to be considered within eDiscovery cases.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if this functions as I expect, but can anyone else confirm that if the preservation hold library can be set to not be indexed from the SharePoint library settings to remove it from user search results without affecting eDiscovery/content searches? 

 

Thanks
