Resolution

1. Create a new class which inherits from the PageInboundPipe:

using System;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Pages.Model;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.Pipes;

namespace SitefinityWebApp
{
    public class CustomPageInboundPipe : PageInboundPipe
    {
        protected override void SetWrapperObjectProperties(WrapperObject wrapperObject, PageNode node)
        {
            base.SetWrapperObjectProperties(wrapperObject, node);

            if (wrapperObject.HasProperty("Content"))
            {
                wrapperObject.AdditionalProperties["Content"] = string.Empty;
            }
        }
    }
}

2. Register the custom PageInboundPipe in the Global.asax file:

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Bootstrapper.Initialized += this.Bootstrapper_Initialized;
}

private void Bootstrapper_Initialized(object sender, ExecutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "Bootstrapped")
    {
        PublishingSystemFactory.UnregisterPipe(PageInboundPipe.PipeName);
        PublishingSystemFactory.RegisterPipe(PageInboundPipe.PipeName, typeof(CustomPageInboundPipe));
    }
}

3. Build the project
4. Re-index all search indexes which include the static HTML of pages as an option.
