We would like to exlcude product variations from search results IF the variable/parent product is shown in the results. Does this option already exist somewhere in the admin? I’ve looked through each panel and have not found it. The following example shows a variable product and all matching variations also listed:
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately there is no option for that, as it cannot be filtered during the database query, only via post processing.
However I recall that about a year ago someone asked a similar questions, and I have found a custom code that was working for him. I searched and found the snippet. Add this custom code to the functions.php in your theme/child theme directory (copy from line 3 only!). Before editing, please make sure to have a full site back-up just in case!
This might do the trick, although it’s not the best solution, but the only I can think of.

Ernest,
I noticed something unusual related to this change. While the results are being removed exactly as requested, it looks like the number of results and the pages of results are both thrown off. For example, this page shows 50 results with 11 appearing on page one, then there is a 404 on page 2:
Is there a way that this code snippet can also be used to correct the number of results and pagination?
Hi,
Yes, it is kind of the problem with tempering the results after the post-process. I will look into this on my local environment. Maybe I can make a modification to the main search query file to somehow detect the changes in results count.
Will get back to you a bit later.

Hi,
I think I may have found a possible solution, at least it appears to be working on my local environment. You will have to replace one file in the search directory. If it works correctly, I will include this change in the upcoming release as well.
1. Before you start, make sure to have a site back-up, just in case.
2. Open up the wp-content\plugins\ajax-search-pro\includes\classes\search\class-asp-query.php file on your server
3. Replace it’s contents with this: asp-query.php
4. Save the file.Do a test search, and hopefully the counter should be showing the correct amount now.
