$SearchPatterns works on full pagenames, not just the part after
the group.  So if you want to exclude the PmWiki group by default:

    $SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!^PmWiki\.!';

If you want to exclude the PmWiki group from the "normal" page 
listings (i.e., via list=normal):

    $SearchPatterns['normal'][] = '!^PmWiki\.!';

And if you want to create a list=restricted option that excludes a 
certain set of groups...

    $SearchPatterns['restricted'][] = '!^(Secret|XXX|Verboten)\.!';
