how to make page searchable but still exclude from list ?

[adrianmak]

I have a page root which will not be shown on navigation menu (auto-generated)

Page settings provide this option to hide from lists. but it both hide from search

How could I make hidden page still searchable ?

Did you try Unpublised instead of Hidden ?

Or exclude it from the auto generated with your own children for each loop.

include=hidden in your search selector
 
http://processwire.com/api/selectors/#access_control

// results exclude hidden, unpublished or non-viewable pages
$pages->find("template=skyscraper");

// results may include hidden pages
$pages->find("template=skyscraper, include=hidden");

// results have no exclusions
$pages->find("template=skyscraper, include=all");

// results may include pages user can't view
$pages->find("template=skyscraper, check_access=0");

Edit: But why not just exclude your page from the menu using the API?
