Filtering and Exclusions

Search filters control which products are eligible to appear in results, separate from what fields are searchable. You can include or exclude products by category and tag, or automatically hide out-of-stock items. The articles below cover the Search Filters panel in Advanced Options, including whitelist and blacklist modes, category and tag selection, and stock status rules.

How to Add Product Filters

Choose between including all products, excluding specific categories or tags, or whitelisting only selected categories and tags in search results.

How to Filter by Category

Use category filters to restrict search results to specific product categories or hide certain categories from search entirely.

Excluding Out of Stock Products

Toggle Exclude Out of Stock Products to automatically remove items with zero inventory from the search index.
