I wish there was a way to stop it from ever appearing as spotlight result - when I type ‘music’, the first result (always) should be the music app I use, not their stuff

Recently I've been using a mac more, and--even with the low bar of Windows default search--I've been very disappointed with Spotlight.

For example, it keeps polluting my results with things like preinstalled system music demo files. There's no option to exclude the location, nor to selectively disable "Garageband" results while keeping other apps I actually do use for work.

		Yeah, I hear you - and sometimes, when you get it to do what you want, some system update will force a reindex and you are back to square one. On the bright side, there are a few power scripts that allow a much more custom experience (particularly if you are an all keyboard shortcuts person), but I am not the kind that wants extras there.
