Remove Products from Search Results

   In the store I am working on now, products are split between items that are available for purchase by everyone, and items which are available for viewing and purchasing only to Wholesale customers.  This is done by assinging products to a category which is set to not display to retail customers.

The isssue is that when you do a search for products when you are not logged on (or logged on as a retail customer), items that are in the wholesale only category show up in the results.  Is there anyway to make items in that cateogry not show up in the search results unless you are logged on a wholesale customer?

Thanks.

	This behavior has been changed in v3 (so products that are assigned to a hidden category, or wholesale customers only), will not be returned in the general search results. Updated files that resolve the issue are also available for v2.76. Please submit a support ticket so that we have all the information we need about your store and can recommend the best way to go about this. Edited by earlyimp - 21-July-2006 at 5:43pm

	With version 3 of Product Cart, is it possible to assign an item itself to be available only to wholesale customers but have it be apart of a category that can be seen by both retail customers and wholesale customers (and only show up when viewing the category logged in as wholesale)? For example, if I had the category 'Jeans', retail customers would see products X and Y, but wholesale customers would see X, Y and Z. When I tried the demo store, I didn't see an option to make products wholesale only, so I'm not sure if this is possible. Thanks.
