    I am new to this plugin, so maybe it is just a setting.

    We have alot of posts. In every post we have a hidden block. This hidden block contains a case number and a name. If we on the frontend search for a word that we know exists i the hidden block (for example out students name, which is in every hidden block so far) – the search result will return all posts containing this word. To be far, it is not visible. But is there a way to exclude content i hidden block from search engine?

    Not currently. If you do a search using the Search block, it will pick up the hidden block’s content. This is because the block exists in the post markup in the database. But the block is not rendered on the front end.

    That said, the hidden content should not appear in search engine searches, like Google.

    Best,
    Nick
