# 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.

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](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=commerce.comm_product_workspace.htm&language=en_US).
- 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 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)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=commerce.comm_enable_displayable_fields.htm&language=en_US).
