Restrictions on search not effective

Hi there,

Could you please provide examples of search words, that should return nothing, and also a screenshots of widget settings?

Thank you
Stanislav

Go here: https://new.nothinfancy.ca

Enter “Another test” in the search box.

(The Woocommerce test product “Another Test” is in the category “Deleted Jan 15 2019”. That category, number 388, is the first item of several in the Disallowed Products Categories box under Items to Search Through in the Woocommerce Default Product Search tab. Therefore it should not be searchable.)

Don’t click return, just wait for it to process. It should say “Nothing Found”.

Now click Return. You should see an image of a guy on a couch and the headline Another Test. This is the product that has been excluded.

I can give you admin access to the site if you wish.

Thanks

Hello,
It seems that WooCommerce redirects it before Smart Search modifies query. If there is only one search result then WooCommerce will redirect you directly to the product page.

To disable this redirect please add next code to the functions.php file.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_redirect_single_search_result', '__return_false' );

Best
Stanislav
