How to make Sharepoint site not visible in search results for non-members

Let's say I have a private Sharepoint site called X. How do I prevent other people in the organization who are non-members of group X from finding the site in the search bar when they search for X on the organization homepage?

Thanks.

    abdulcelil_cercenazi SharePoint search respects the user permissions on the SharePoint site and site content. If users don't have permissions on the site and site content, those will not be shown in the search results.

     

    So, grant permissions on this site for group X only and remove permissions of all other users from this site.

     

    Follow documentations for more information: 

    1. SharePoint site permissions 
    2. Customize permissions for a SharePoint list or library
