   It is simple!
   It hides pages from the menu!
   It does not hide pages from searches... perhaps in the next version? or in a variation?

   Thanks !

   Yes it was not designed to hide pages from the searches. I'll have to look if it's easy to do... If it is I'll do a new version ;)

   I managed it by adding the following to functions.php, but would go better in a plugin (but really WP should have Visibility: public, password, private & hidden.

   /*
    * from brickbrigade's code at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/get_post-query-where-posts-dont-have-a-specific-meta_key-1
    */
   add_filter('query_vars', 'metakey_queryvars' );
   function metakey_queryvars( $qvars )
   {
     $qvars[] = 'not_meta_key';
     return $qvars;
   }
   
   add_filter('posts_where', 'metakey_where' );
   function metakey_where( $where )
   {
       global $wp_query;
       global $wpdb;
   
       if( isset( $wp_query->query_vars['not_meta_key'] )) {
          $where .= $wpdb->prepare(" AND $wpdb->posts.ID NOT IN ( SELECT post_id FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE ($wpdb->postmeta.post_id = $wpdb->posts.ID) AND meta_key = %s) ", $wp_query->query_vars['not_meta_key']);
       }
       return $where;
   }
   
   /*
    * variation of jamesstiff's code at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/excluding-pages-from-search-results
    */
   function mySearchFilter($query) {
   if ($query->is_search) {
   $query->set('not_meta_key', 'hide');
   }
   return $query;
   }
   add_filter('pre_get_posts','mySearchFilter');

   Thanks for the code !

   In the mean time I found the following plugin (untested though) :
   simply-exclude

   I might improve simply-hide-page to also hide from search later...

   Simply-Exclude looks good but for pages it appears to only exclude them from searches. And with 2084 lines of code, it is slightly longer than your plugin :)
