Remove people tiles from search results?

Question

Our Confluence/Atlassian tenant is now populating massive people tiles in search results, which is obnoxious and we'd like to turn off.

IE, looking for `gha` (Github Actions) is now showing people who have names/initials that roughly match (censored for privacy):

There doesn't appear to be an option to disable this in the search results or filters (IE, there's no `People` type to exclude), and taking over 20% of the page with these is not desirable.

I've already sent formal feedback via `Give feedback` -- is there any way to turn these off?

Thank you,

I assume your confluence has pages that showcase employees, which is where Rovo is coming up with these tiles.  I tried to recreate it on my site, but I don't have pages with large tiles and didn't want to create them.

It might be worth testing if you toggle permissions on these pages, to see if it adjusts Rovo's reach and maybe they will stop being found.  Rovo doesn't seem to have much in the way of user-facing settings yet.

Hi @Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM -- Yes, it appears this was recently enabled on our tenant.

Hi @Peter Farrell

This looks like Rovo and not Confluence.  Did you enable the Rovo beta?
