Hi, I've been trying to find a way to remove the blog posts and pages from showing up in the internal search results on our website. I found similar questions posed on Community but they're for different theme.
The solution suggested was to add this <input type="hidden" name="type" value="product'> below {{ routes.search_url }} in the main-search.liquid file
Our theme is Xtra and so far this is the code that I'm looking at under that main-search.liquid file:
</header>
<form action="{{ routes.search_url }}" method="get" class="f8se no-js">
<p class="m10">{{ 'search.amount_of_results' | t: count: search.results_count, amount: search.results_count }}</p>
<p>
<label for="fea" class="hidden">{{ 'search.title' | t }}</label>
<input type="search" id="fea" name="q" placeholder="{{ 'search.search_form.placeholder' | t }}" autocomplete="off" required {% if search.performed %}value="{{ search.terms }}"{% endif %}>
<button type="submit">{{ 'search.search_form.submit' | t }}</button>
</p>
</form>
{%- liquid
if sorting_block == nil and show_filters_and_menu
render 'filters-sorting', display: 'mobile-filter-button', sticky: section.settings.filter_mobile_sticky, show_filters: show_filters
endif
-%}
{%- when 'sorting' -%}
{%- render 'filters-sorting',

-%}
</aside>
{% endif %}
</div>Where should I add this specific code <input type="hidden" name="type" value="product'> ? Or if I should be using that code in the liquid file?
I'm very new to this (so the usage of terms may be wrong - so forgive me for this) and coding isn't exactly my niche so I would need any help with this.
Thanks!
