Option to exclude apps from search

I want to have the option to exclude some apps from the search.

Currently, hidden apps are not excluded from search and only adding an option to exclude hidden apps from search is in my opinion an improvement, but not ideal, because e.g. I also hide apps that are in folder, because they don’t have clutter the app list then, but these apps should in principle be available in the search.

An example where I would use it is the following:

I can not uninstall the YouTube-App on my Pixel, but I don’t want to use YouTube on my phone (to reduce screen time) and I explicitly do not want to have the easy option to open the app by searching for it. (Which sometimes can happen out of habit.)
