Exclude or Remove specific product to appear in search result : Shopify

Sometimes you may need to exclude specific product to appear in search result. Here I am sharing you a tricks which i got in shopify community.

So the tricks is, put a tag , for example “Special” tag in the product and that tagged product will be removed from search result. Here i am sharing the code

{% for item in search.results %}

    {% assign hidden_tag = false %}
    
    {% for tag in item.tags %}
        {% if tag == 'special' %}
            {% assign hidden_tag = true %}
        {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}

    {% if hidden_tag == true %}
        {% comment %}
            If it contains the tag, do this
        {% endcomment %}
                 
    {% else %}
        {% comment %}
            If it doesn't contain the tag, do this
        {% endcomment %}
        
{% endfor %}
