Problem: I would like to add a directory to the URL of default posts without affecting CPT URL structures. If I add the directory in a custom permalink structure in Settings > Permalinks, the directory is added to all posts including CPTs. I just want it added to standard posts.

Solution: Add the directory in Settings > Permalinks as a custom directory structure, then edit each CPT and turn off the option "Allow permalinks to be prepended with front base"

Problem:

I just came across this tickbox setting on post type -

exclude_from_search
Whether to exclude posts with this post type from search results.

Would this exclude items from the websites search?

Solution:

The option "exclude_from_search" works for wordpress built-in search page, see document:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type#exclude_from_search

Whether to exclude posts with this post type from front end search results.

There isn't such kind of feature to include/exclude in web/google search, you might consider creating your custom robots.txt file:
