How to remove blogs & pages from my in-store searching result

[KATZZ]

I have searched the similar question in the community. The answer is to edit the store theme code. I have tried to follow the instruction, but I have no experience in code editing.

I am using the theme 'Dawn'. Does anyone know where to edit the code? I am following the link on this page: https://shopify.dev/themes/navigation-search/search but still have no idea where to add the code.

2) Click on online store.
3) Then click on action button in the dropdown click on Edit code.

Hello @KATZZ,

If my suggestions is helpful to you, please let me know by giving a like or marking it as a solution.

You can restrict the Shopify search to show only product pages.

To achieve a custom search, you can add a hidden field in the header.liquid file.

Go to your Online Store > Themes > Edit code > header.liquid file

Find 'routes.search_url' and add the hidden field inside the <form action={{routes.search_url}}> section.

<form action={{routes.search_url}} ....>
<div class="field">
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="product">
......
</form>

Similarly, go to main-search.liquid file, find 'routes.search_url' and add a hidden field there also:

<form action={{routes.search_url}} ....>
<div class="field">
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="product">
......
</form>

This will restrict giving only product pages in the storefront search result.

You can read this blog for more details.

Hope this helps,

<form action={{routes.search_url}} ....>
<div class="field">
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="product,page">
......
</form>

Question - what line did you replace or add that code you posted in? Still having trouble removing only blog/press posts from my site. Thanks for your help, it would be much appreciated!

I hope this helps, dawn theme, install "Search & Discovery" - it's completely free, from search and discovery app go to Settings and uncheck "Blog" in what to include in the in-search. like so:

Thanks for the assistance! Any idea if that works with the 'Impact' theme?

As i've untoggled that box but press/"blog posts" are still showing in search engine.

No idea, but I think it should  maybe wait for 5 minutes?
