I may have answered my own question...
 
I'm not sure if this is the proper solution, or just one of the possible solutions, but here's what I ended up doing:
 
- I created a new map
- added all my conref source files to that map
- set map properties TOC=no and Search=no
 
That worked!

Subject: [oXygen-user] excluding conref source files from search results

Hi,
 
How do I make it, so that a conref source file does not appear in search results?
 
This file is not otherwise in the TOC. It is ONLY used as conref source.
