Hi Satish

Compare 2 screenshots that I have attached. I hope this is what you want.

I just added the fl query parameter for convenience, you can omit it. Basically you can use the

fq=-category_string_mv:'your-category-code'

minus sign after '=' is important here.

Sorry, i missed this one. You can do this in backoffice. Go to System --> Personalization. I think it is called Frontend_RestrictedCategory. See if this one is activated.

Hi Marko ,

Thanks for your suggestion .

So if i did this process , that category won't be come in PLP Page .....is it correct ?

Yes, then the category should disappear from the listing page. It might be that if you don't have the search restriction activated and do step 1, that you would need to remove the category from the navigation nodes as well. OOTB all categories are shown and it does not check if category has products or not, this is on the storefront.

[Marko_salonen]

This way it should be hidden anyway , for the first one it works if you have searchrestriction that restricts categories for customers if customeGroup is not added as visible group.

Yes Correct .

I don't want to index one particular category .

http://localhost:8983/solr/#/master_xxx_Product_default/query.....

Whenever i hit the above url , that particular category won't be come for searchable or hide from query ....

Please suggest more on this .?

You can add that category as filter, category !="YOUR_CATEGORY". For this create one listener whichc extends FacetSearchListener and override the query in before search method.

Hi Hitesh ,

I go through your suggested solution also.

So like below we have to do .............

@Override

  public void beforeSearch(final FacetSearchContext facetSearchContext) throws 

`FacetSearchException

  {
      final SearchQuery searchQuery = facetSearchContext.getSearchQuery();

}

So here i have to override the query .......

Please could you tell me more how to override the query to avoid category .
