 * I’m just wondering if this plugin has any affect on crawlers indexing pages? 
   If I exclude a homepage from search results, will this alter its SEO indexing?

 * Good question, thanks.
 * No, it does not affect crawling and indexing by search engines. The only thing
   it does is hiding selected post/pages from your site search page. Not altering
   SEO indexing.
