    You can use this small snippet – add it to the functions.php of your child theme :

    function remove_attachments_from_search() {
    global $wp_post_types;
    $wp_post_types['attachment']->exclude_from_search = true;
}
add_action('init', 'remove_attachments_from_search');

    This will exclude attachment post type from search results.

    Hope this helps

    You can disable the media attachment page on Yoast SEO if you have installed it. Or you can paste this to your functions.php

    function myprefix_redirect_attachment_page() {
if ( is_attachment() ) {
    global $post;
    if ( $post && $post->post_parent ) {
        wp_redirect( esc_url( get_permalink( $post->post_parent ) ), 301 );
        exit;
    } else {
        wp_redirect( esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ), 301 );
        exit;
    }
  }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'myprefix_redirect_attachment_page' );
