I have a question today. I have recently completed a website and there is search box integrated. And, I have a post which has an attachment(attachment's url is www.sample.com/image/sampleimage.jpg) added and no such word "sample" in the body of the post. Today, i noticed that the post can be found when searching "sample" that hit the word in the url. Is there anyway to exclude the attachment url from search query? Any solution? Thanks in advance!

try this to exclude images from search. Add code to your functions.php:
// Exclude images from search results - WordPress
add_action( 'init', 'exclude_images_from_search_results' );
function exclude_images_from_search_results() {
global $wp_post_types;
$wp_post_types['attachment']->exclude_from_search = true;
}

samplekeyword in your content. I just checked on my local setup with the name of the image which exists in a post, but not result found. So it means that the search already ignore the URL of the media attached with the post
