Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:
To customize the search result in your shopify store you have to manipulate the search result provided by the search result. To do so you have to find in your theme where logic for search operation is written. Mostly you will find it in search.liquid file. You need to filter the search result there. Suppose you want to restrict products of particular vendor in the search result then you can do it as follow. {% for item in search.results %} {% if item.vendor != 'Reebok' %} {% include 'search-result' %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} Here search-result will be the snippet responsible represent each search result in the search list. Simillarly you have to manipilate the search result pagination too.
