Description

Comment text appears in the search modal even when comments are turned off and hidden from a Post. It would be nice to be able to exclude comments from the search results (especially if they are not being displayed on the site).

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by tracing the search modal and how comment text enters its results, then find the existing setting that hides comments from posts. Done means hidden comments are excluded from search results while visible comments continue to appear.
