I ran a search on my messages including
-is:starred
I also tried
-has:yellow-star
however I am still getting starred messages in my search results

Those conversations are coming up because stars are applied to individual messages, not conversations. So, at least one message in the conversation lacks the star and so meets your -is:starred criterium.
If you star all the messages in that conversation I'll bet the conversation drops out of your search results.
Labels work in much the same way, which is why it can be problematic to search for negative criteria.

I think if you remove then re-add the star from that view, it'll add a star to the conversation. Then again, it's probably just as likely that it'll just add the star to the latest message.– aleCommented Jan 18, 2014 at 23:21

Just tried unstarring then restarring the conversation, that doesn't work: it stars the latest message Commented May 8, 2019 at 23:39
Labels appears to work better with conversations, so I am going to go with that.
