Description

Love the theme.

I know we can omit pages from the sidebar - but is there a way to hide pages or content from being found by the search bar?

Research direction
Investigate how Nextra's search feature is implemented. Look at the theme's configuration options and see if there is already a way to exclude pages. If not, propose adding a frontmatter field like `search: false` to the page's metadata, and modify the search indexing logic to skip those pages. Examine the `next.config.js` or theme's ` meta.json` for existing filtering options. Also check recent commits or discussions for similar requests.
