AlyssaSupreme I would highly recommend not hiding their OneDrive from SharePoint Search especially since there may be items in their OneDrive accounts that are potentially relevant (including files shared with them).

If they did want to exclude items from their OneDrive, they could put this in the SharePoint Search Box (not ideal but would work). Note that you would change YOURTENANT to whatever your tenant's name is.
