Exclude users (or anything else) from 7.2 search results

Hi Everyone,
After searching through the docs and google yesterday, I'm back again.
Coming to dxp 7.2, obviously the search has changed dramatically. I want to exclude users as a result from a search.
So when I type "test", I don't want to receive users as a result. Content created by "test" is fine.
I've removed the user model from Control Panel-Configuration-System administration-Search.
Is there anything else I need to do? Because that didn't do anything visible for me.
Thanks!

Hi Yannik,
About:
I've removed the user model from Control Panel-Configuration-System administration-Search.
I don't think it is a good idea, user administration in control panel queries Elasticsearch, so perhaps it won't work in case you filter the User model from search functionality.
The easiest way is to add a type facet widget to your search result page, see: https://help.liferay.com/hc/es/articles/360029133851-Facets  this facet will filter all entities that are not selected in its configuration
If you don't want final users to see the facet widget and convert it in a filter applied by the admin users, just edit its permission and hide it to regular users.

That's the conclusion I've come to as well.
Thank you for your answer.
