Unable to hide products from wordpress search

I have that problem too! Hopefully someone can help with this!

Finally I find a solution by adding this code in the functions.php of my active theme:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'jdn_modify_query' );
function jdn_modify_query( $query ) {
 
	// First, make sure this isn't the admin and is the main query, otherwise bail
	if( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() )
	return;
	 
	// If this is a search result query
	if( $query->is_search() ) {
		// Gather all searchable post types
		$in_search_post_types = get_post_types( array( 'exclude_from_search' => false ) );
		// Define the post_type you want to exclude from the results
		$post_type_to_remove = 'product';
		// Make sure you got the proper results, and that your post type is in the results
		if( is_array( $in_search_post_types ) && in_array( $post_type_to_remove, $in_search_post_types ) ) {
			// Remove the post type from the array
			unset( $in_search_post_types[ $post_type_to_remove ] );
			// set the query to the remaining searchable post types
			$query->set( 'post_type', $in_search_post_types );
		}
	}
}

This way you remove ALL the products from the search results.
