Mark Products as Searchable or Not Searchable

After you create your initial search index, all products in the catalog are searchable by default. If you want to make a product not searchable, you can exclude it from search. You can change whether a product is searchable at any time.

Which Salesforce Commerce Product Do I Have?

When marking products as searchable or not searchable, keep the following in mind.

  • For a product to be searchable, it must also be active.

    Each Product Workspace has an Active column. When Active is selected, the product is visible in all the associated stores. For information about changing a product’s active state, see Use the Product Workspace to Manage and Update Products.

  • You mark a product’s search status for individual stores. You can mark a product searchable in one store and make it not searchable in another store.
  • Marking a product as not searchable prevents it from being returned in the search results. However, as long as a product is active, it appears in all the associated stores, even if it’s not searchable.
  1. In the navigation sidebar, select a store from the Store dropdown.
  2. Select Merchandising | Products.
  3. Click the product name that you want to mark as searchable or unsearchable.
  4. Scroll down and click Go to global product record.
  5. On the product page, from the Stores tile, click the row actions menu icon for the store that you want to change.
    • To let shoppers with access find the product in a search, select Mark as Searchable.
    • To prevent shoppers from finding the product in a search, select Mark as Not Searchable.
      Note
      Note If a product is marked not searchable and Displayable Fields is enabled, direct links to the Product Detail page don’t work. See Enable Displayable Fields in Commerce (Beta).
