I'm using FC 3 Beta 6b, latest sh404SEF and Falang.

Is it possible to prevent 404 pages (both in default and translated language) to be displayed in the search results if someone searches for a term included in that pages?

Hello

try putting this content into "Archived" state

Hello

most complete way:

1. it is good to make item state to be "Archived"

2. For Search view
-- in your search MENU item (search module also requires a menu item, and uses it for configuration)
do not add the content type of the item to searchable types

3. For category-like views that also have text search, do this
-- assign the item to a category that you have configured to be non-linkable (* see below)
and also make sure the category is top level (no parent) and it has no direct menu items to it

(*) go to FLEXIcontent Advance Route plugin and select not to create links to the category

[Update]
- i ll make a new FAQ article

If I make the 404 page as archived, it doesn't work.
Whenever a non existent page is accessed, the default 404 Joomla page is shown and not this one.
Another negative effect is that search also stops to work, which doesn't make any sense.

I also created another type and didn't select it in the menu options.
It is still being shown in the search results, whatever plugin is enabled.
By the way, which search plugins should be enabled among these 3: flexisearch, flexiadvsearch and falang?
If more than one is enabled, then search results get duplicated. :(

Hello

- only enable 1 plugin of those searching Joomla content (articles),
- the searchable content types configuration (MENU item) is respected by flexiadvsearch plugin, enable only this
- flexisearch or other "content search" plugin will not respect it
