# Excluding hidden catalog products

 Since WooCommerce 3.0 the catalog and search product visibility was moved to a taxonomy term for better performance.

Therefore you can exclude these products using the `Andvanced Options -> Exclude/Include results` panel:\
 

![](https://wp-dreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/26/admin/13257/admin/kb-woocommerce-exclude-hidden.jpg)

Drag the *exclude-from-catalog* and the *exclude-from-search* items to the right side, so products that are hidden from the catalog as well as from the search will be excluded.

Save the options, and it’s done.
