I found the problem, at least on my system. In the AdminCP, under Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> Product : Exclude Forums from What's New you will see four plugins for this product. One of them, which hooks "search_start", is disabled. I enabled it. Now the forum I selected to exclude does not appear in search results.
I'd still like to know if there is a way to deny excluding certain forums (e.g. FAQ, announcements, etc).
