If you have WooCommerce installed in WordPress, all posts, pages, and products will be displayed when you search from the regular search widget. Today I will introduce a code that does not display the product and page when searching from the regular search widget. Put the following code in functions.php.

/** Remove WooCommerce products and WordPress page results from search form widget */
   function mycustom_modify_search_query( $query ) {
     // Make sure this isn't the admin or is the main query
     if( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() ) {
       return;
     }
     // Make sure it is not a WooCommerce product search form
     if( isset($_GET['post_type']) && ($_GET['post_type'] == 'product') ) {
       return;
     }
     if( $query->is_search() ) {
       $in_search_post_types = get_post_types( array( 'exclude_from_search' => false ) );
       // Type of post to delete (Example: "product" and "page")
       $post_types_to_remove = array( 'product', 'page' );
       foreach( $post_types_to_remove as $post_type_to_remove ) {
         if( is_array( $in_search_post_types ) && in_array( $post_type_to_remove, $in_search_post_types ) ) {
           unset( $in_search_post_types[ $post_type_to_remove ] );
           $query->set( 'post_type', $in_search_post_types );
         }
       }
     }
   }
   add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'mycustom_modify_search_query' );
