Does not work. Shorts still showing up in search results.

It doesnt seem to block the button for shorts on the sidebar which it used to do. At least it's still blocking the actual shorts from showing up in feed, but i'm concerned that if the shorts button is no longer being blocked, eventually the actual shorts might start leaking through..
