How do I set it so that my searches (C-c a s) do not return DONE or CANCELED entries? I am aware that I can archive the DONE or CANCELED entries, but I don’t want to do that.

    You can set your search query to be:

    -{DONE\|CANCELLED} <rest of query here>
    or
    -DONE -CANCELLED <rest of query>
    

    And it will by default remove your done and cancelled tasks.

    If you are always looking for a specific string you can create a org-agenda-custom-command (See Storing Searches). It would have to look something like:

    (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
          '(("t" "Test Search" search "-{DONE\\|CANCELLED} +<query>")))
