Buried and Hidden Products

Buried and Hidden Products

Purpose: 
To deprioritize or remove certain products from appearing in search results without removing them from the store entirely. 

How it Works: 

  • Buried Products: 
    Remain visible but are ranked lower in search results, reducing their prominence. Useful for items with low stock, outdated designs, or low conversion rates. 

  • Hidden Products: 
    Are excluded entirely from the search results for the specified query. Hidden products remain active in the catalog and can still appear in other contexts (e.g., direct URLs or different searches). 

Usage Examples: 

  • Bury discontinued or clearance products so they appear near the bottom of search results. 

  • Hide products that are temporarily unavailable or not relevant to a keyword. 

Significance: 

  • Improves result relevance and browsing experience. 

  • Reduces clutter in search listings. 

  • Helps focus user attention on in stock or relevant inventory.
