I'd like to know how to manipulate the search results.
For example - I have declared multiple collections for reusable stuff like banners or addresses which are plain objects, without templates. As so, they are published and have URLs, but when someone navigates to them, they (properly) show 404.
We have banners named like people who are depicted on them (manager etc.), so whenever somebody puts one of their names into the search box, the engine responds with a banner URL and navigation ends with 404.
What I'd like is to remove these (ie- prohibit scanning the Collections node as the parent of all my side content) or - better - to make the index aware of the banner/person being connected with the page where it's placed, thus this one could be safely returned in the search results.
The second issue is with the PDF documents we have. They are not in the Media, but a separate folder and linked on one of the pages (simple script on the page enumerating files and formulating links). How to make the search engine being aware of them?
How to manage the search indexes?

If I understand you correctly you want to exclude some content from the index (banners etc.) and indexing external files (pdf).
Here is a post about excluding content:

And a part for indexing external content (whole article is great):
