While I agree with the answer by Morten K in that there are always ways to get around a keyword exclusion, it does not accurately respond to the question.
You can find a way to run query rules that cause exclusion of certain keywords here: Exclude Keywords from Search

True - in hindsight it should have been a comment. Out of curiosity can you implement at global query rule or would it need to be set on every single search form in the farm?– Morten KCommented Sep 21, 2018 at 6:00

Honestly, I have never tried either as I do not see the point in excluding this way. I would rather exclude based on permissions. However, I would believe that you should be able to exclude in this manner globally as long as someone is not using custom search boxes that are using their own rules. Commented Sep 21, 2018 at 15:57
What's the reason for this? If it is to prevent the users from getting their hands on files they shouldn't then it's a no go. There's literally several other way to surface the files other than search.
