For e.g. You have a site collection A and sub-sites B and C. if you search for the keyword B you will A and B both in the search results.

To resolve this problem, use the following settings and you will be able to see only site B in the search results.

o Select “No” option in the  "Use the top link bar from the parent site? " in the Navigation inheritance while creating the sub site.
