Hi @frob ,

As a site owner, you can choose whether the content on your site can appear in search results. By default, all site content can appear in search results.

Steps to show or hide content from lists or libraries in search results:

1. On the List Settings page, under General Settings, click Advanced settings.
2. In the Search section, under Allow items from this document library to appear in search results, select Yes to include all of the items in the list or library in search result or No to exclude all items from search results.

As long as the site owner is set to show this content from lists or libraries in search results, and the search user has permission to view the content. This content will appear in the search results of people with Restricted View permissions.
