Show product recommendations even when products are sold out

[Vapes4You]

Hi community,

we are using product recommendations on our product pages.

Unfortunately Shopify by standard does not display the recomendations when the product is currently sold out.

You can the define the products in the search and discovery app but you cannot change the filter options.

How can we change that via code?

I have found the corresponding code in the main-product.liquid file, but I am not able to do this. It seems that the products to display are calculated somewhere and stored in 'recommendations.products' but I cannot find where this function is.

Here the code I found:

{%- when 'complementary' -%}
              <product-recommendations class="complementary-products quick-add-hidden no-js-hidden{% if block.settings.make_collapsible_row %} is-accordion{% endif %}{% if block.settings.enable_quick_add %} complementary-products-contains-quick-add{% endif %}" data-url="{{ routes.product_recommendations_url }}?section_id={{ section.id }}&product_id={{ product.id }}&limit={{ block.settings.product_list_limit }}&intent=complementary">
                {%- if recommendations.performed and recommendations.products_count > 0 -%}
                  <aside aria-label="{{ 'accessibility.complementary_products' | t }}" {{ block.shopify_attributes }}{% if block.settings.make_collapsible_row %} class="product__accordion accordion"{% endif %}>
                    <div class="complementary-products__container">
                      {%- if block.settings.make_collapsible_row -%}
                        <details id="Details-{{ block.id }}-{{ section.id }}" open>
                          <summary>
                      {%- endif %}
                      <div class="summary__title">
                        {%- if block.settings.make_collapsible_row -%}
                          {% render 'icon-accordion', icon: block.settings.icon %}
                          <h2 class="h4 accordion__title">{{ block.settings.block_heading }}</h2>
                        {%- else -%}
                          <h2 class="h3 accordion__title">{{ block.settings.block_heading }}</h2>
                        {%- endif -%}
