Can python operators be hidden from the search operator list?

Hi,

I am currently running into an issue where operators of couple of addons I rely on overpopulate the search results when using search operator, resulting often in selecting the wrong operator with unintended results:

These addons bloat the search, making it often hard to navigate:

But at the same time, these are very popular addons which are hard to get by without. The addon authors’ excuse is that there is supposedly currently no way to hide these operators from the search feature or at least categorize them better.

Is this really true?

According to the docs, if ‘INTERNAL’ is in the bl_options set for the operator, it’s supposed to hide it from search results:
