Yes, but that's fixable with stuff like [1] if it actually becomes a
problem.

[1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Cirrussearch-boost-templates

This has been a problem for a few years now, I wish I knew about these templates, that seems like a great fix.  One thing - does this also exclude the pages from the auto-complete searches?  Or just the full cirrus searches?

Boost templates are used in both full text and search as you type.
Note that this will affect results order but won't allow you to exclude/black-list a page from the search results.
