With the help of search preferences, you can adjust how your search will work. For example, you can hide out-of-stock products from the search or display them at the end of the search results, switch off the search by blog posts, etc.
In this article, you’ll find the instructions for Wix stores. If you have a store on another platform, you can find the appropriate instructions for this platform:
