Remove pages from search

From what I know and understand, anything that’s indexed is available for the autocomplete, so to get those specific pages removed from the suggestions, they’ll need to be removed from the index as well.

OK, great, thanks, that makes sense! How would I go about deleting certain pages from the posts_page index?

This would probably put you on a good step forward

You won’t need ALL of it, but it shows how things could be adapted to check for your specific conditions and return whether or not the item should get indexed.

Hi Michael,

That’s great, thank you – I’ll take a look at that article and get back in touch with any further questions.

For completion purposes, here’s the final code I used to achieve this:

// We alter the indexing decision making for both the posts index and the searchable_posts index.
add_filter('algolia_should_index_post', 'custom_should_index_post', 10, 2);
add_filter('algolia_should_index_searchable_post', 'custom_should_index_post', 10, 2);

/**
 * @param bool    $should_index
 * @param WP_Post $post
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function custom_should_index_post($should_index, WP_Post $post) {
    if (false === $should_index) {
        // If the decision has already been taken to not index the post
        // stick to that decision.
        return $should_index;
    }

    if ($post->post_type !== 'page') {
        // We only want to alter the decision making for pages.
        // We we are dealing with another post_type, return the $should_index as is.
        return  $should_index;
    }

    $woocommerce_page_ids = [
        get_option('woocommerce_cart_page_id'),
        get_option('woocommerce_checkout_page_id'),
        get_option('woocommerce_myaccount_page_id')
    ];

    if (in_array($post->ID, $woocommerce_page_ids)) {
        // If the post is a page and has an excluded page ID,
        // we return false to inform that we do not want to index the post.
        return false;
    }

    return $should_index;
}
