Hiding products, pages & collections from Shopify search results using tags?

Eileeno · ‎08-22-2023

Hello, i've created a separate wholesale section on my website that uses tags to define customers as 'wholesale' i'm now trying to hide my 'wholesale' tagged products from the Shopify search results.

When a customer logs in and is tagged with 'wholesale' they have a separate menu, products & pages that are not available to 'non-wholesale' customers.

I've recently updated my theme from 'Debut' to 'Broadcast' and i'm trying to copy over the coding from my search.liquid but i'm having trouble getting it to work as it currently does.

Debut Theme - Hiding pages, products & collections tagged - 'Wholesale'

<!-- /templates/search.liquid -->

The search results are still showing all products, I think its because something is misplaced in here?

Thank you in advance for your help, Nick & Eileen

Hi, to understand better, you have:

wholesale tagged products
wholesale tagged customers

If I'm not logged in I have to see all products?
If I'm logged in but not tagged with 'wholesale' I have to see all products, or only non-tagged products?
If I'm logged in and tagged, I have to see all products or only wholesale products?
