Your question is very confusing and I am unsure about what you are trying to ask. Can you please try to rephrase your question and use proper punctuation? You can read How to Ask on how to ask a good question that has chance at getting answered.– Rushil SrivastavaCommented Aug 11, 2016 at 6:24

I don't think you can remove the people list from search results.
If you search, for instance, for "Service Desk", mail will lookup in any header: From, To, Subject, and other; therefore mail will include previous recipients and contacts.
Solution 1
Be specific about the message header to use in the search.
You can perform the search by adding the keyword "Subject": Subject: Service Desk
Solution 2
Create a smartmailbox like the one in the picture.
In this example the smartmailbox will lookup for all message containing the word "Facebook" excluding this word from sender and recipients.
You will need to double-click the smartmailbox and edit it every time you want to do your custom search.
- Choose
Window > Previous Recipients. - Remove recipients from the list: Select one or more names, then click
Remove From List.
