Is there a way to trim personal site URL's from Search result.
Mysite URL's are appearing in search result which we do not want.
Thanks,

Do you want to stop crawling People, or just remove the link to the personal site (which users can still get to but not from search)??– Matthew McDermottCommented Aug 18, 2014 at 19:22

Hi Matthew, I just need to remove the link to the personal site. I managed to resolve this by Navigating to Query Rules of Search Center and then deactivating "People Name in SharePoint Search" rule provided by SharePoint. I am not sure if this is the best solution but it worked for me. If you have some better suggestions please guide.– AmitCommented Aug 20, 2014 at 6:43

You could try to make for example a solution which prevents sites not to appear on search results from a certain web application. This does require some programming, but there might be similar solutions already available by just searching.
Another possibility could be to create a custom managed property - let's call it as SitePath. This managed property should be configured to not use Complete Matching. Now we could make a custom Result Source to use Query Transformation such as {searchTerms} (SitePath:/mySites). This assumes that your My Sites would be located under mySites URL. Now the result source could be added to be used on the SP Search.
Have a look at this blog post about building a specialized search experience.
