 > Given that we don't have a way at all to say "Don't show up on
 search..."

 For the record, it turns out we do.. If you add the post-meta
 `plugin_disabled` with any truthful value (I'd recommend "Exclude from
 search due to XYZ") then that's excluded from search results.. Even from
 exact-matches. You can use the wp-admin PostMeta section w/ the "enter
 custom post meta key" functions.

 Badly named post_meta, and appears to be a holdover from early search
 configurations, but it works (I've tested it)
