Okay, we have the same issue as everyone - Smart Search brings up articles that aren't in a menu item anywhere and when you click on them it loads them on the home page with whatever other modules, etc., are displayed there.
Bad Smart Search. BAD!
So here's our hack, sort of. We created a hidden Category List menu item called Search Results and included every article category on the site.
Now when you use Smart Search and click on a link that isn't in any other menu item, it displays on the menu item which can show whatever other modules you want on it. Only issue is, articles in a menu item will show twice in the search. Much better than throwing them on the homepage.
IDEA - could Smart Search be modified so it has a default menu item if the article isn't in a menu anywhere else? Way over my pay grade here, but seems reasonable.
