Search results - between site/subsite and list

[Bryan123]

currently when I search a subsite I'm getting results from the subsite and lists that are inside that subsite.  Is there a way to limit the search results to exclude lists?

Hi @Bryan123 

In your list settings --> advanced list settings
there is an option to exclude list items from search results. 

Users who do not have permission to see these items will not see them in search results, no matter what this setting is.

Let me know if this helps. 

Kind regards

Will that setting let me still search the list?

For example, Bryan is listed in the subsite and in the list (2 separate items).  If I search Bryan in the list, I only want list items to show.  If I search Bryan in the subsite, I only want subsite items to show

@Bryan123 As mentioned, we can restrict from the list settings to avoid it to be part of Search result. Additionally, we can create search scopes as well for help us define the search results.
