We are running our site on 7.7.2 with Solr, and we keep getting search hits on products that belong to catalogues/folders that is set to availible = false, and I'm not really clear on how to exclude those folders in the criteria for the search method. The biggest issue is that you get 404 if you try to go to the product that belongs to that folder.

When we build up the criteria we are using this code snippet from EPiServers example code:

if (criteria.CatalogNames.Count == 0)
                {
                    var catalogs = CatalogContext.Current.GetCatalogDto();
                    if (catalogs.Catalog.Count > 0)
                    {                        
                        foreach (var row in catalogs.Catalog)
                        {                                                        
                            if (row.IsActive &&
                                row.StartDate <= frameworkcontext.current.currentdatetime &&>
                                row.EndDate >= FrameworkContext.Current.CurrentDateTime)
                            {
                                criteria.CatalogNames.Add(row.Name);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

So it only adds catalogues that is set to active, but if a child folder is inactive, we keep getting hits on the products from that catalogue, and those results in 404. How can I exclude those folders? Do I have to go through all child folders as well and only add the active ones? What about if a catalogue has for example two child catalogues and articles as well? And one of those catalogues is set to active = false, in so case I can't add the parent folder because it has a child folder that is set to active = false.

We are using the SearchFilterHelper.Current.SearchEntries method that needs the criteria.

Anyone with a solution on this?
