You can use the custom-search hook to accomplish this. For complicated
reasons, it doesn't show up in `sup -l` right now, but here's the docs:

  Executes before a string search is applied to the index,
  returning a new search string.
  Variables:
    subs: The string being searched.

I would try something like

  subs =~ /label:cronjob/ ? subs : subs + " -label:cronjob"

Which will automatically add that search term unless the query already
contains it.
