This doesn't actually solve the problem, but you can filter the search
results by searching only on certain namespaces, such as the namespace
"(Main)" and "Talk".
This way, at least user pages wouldn't show as a result, which is where
most Kosmos rendering rules appear.

If there was a template similar to [1], I believe that would be the best
solution. But I don't know much about MediaWiki, so I'm not sure how the
process of adding this template could be made easier.
