I’m trying to hide some products in my store so they cant be found by searching them. (I still want the products to be live) From what I found online it appears the only way to do this is to edit the product metafeild.

Hi @mikeyl567 the instructions you read around are indeed correct. Please follow this guide. I’ve just tested on Minimal Theme and it works and it should work on all themes, if they are implemented following Shopify guidelines. Go to your backend in Settings > Metafields and click Products Click…

Thank you very much for your quick support. If you dont mind quickly going over this with me it would be greatly appreciated. I havnt changed much code or added anything like this before so i want to make sure im correct and dont mess up my store. First I go to Settings-Metafeilds Then I manually …

This didn’t work for me. It look a little different now, asking if you want to expose it to an API, if you want 1 value or a list of values… I set it up right, went to edit the product I’d like to be hidden from the search, & entered the number 1 in the metafield, but it still shows in a search. Any…

Did this exact same thing, even went word for word in the description, & it just won’t work for me. I cleared my cache & cookies, I waited 20-30 min to see if it just needed some time, it just doesn’t want to hide for some reason. I’m only trying to hide 2 products, but the universe is saying “nah, …

@SirBLT My understanding is that the metafields will hide the product from something like Google search, but not the internal search. This article has a section with code for excluding products from Shopify’s search using a single tag and it has been working for me.

Hi all When I use the setting seo.hidden = 1 it does both for me. It exclude it from the internal search and also setting the meta robots from index to noindex () Maybe it depends on the theme?? Do you have an idea, for only disable a product for the internal search? Thanks Felix

@Fry , I think you are right that it may be theme dependent. When I was using the Minimal theme, I used the metafield for seo and some other code (link in my previous post) for internal search. Now that I’m on a 2.0 theme (Dawn), the metafield is blocking products from internal search without the ad…

Hi, did you solve it? I am looking for same issue. Tried too many stuffs but didn’t workout.
