The plugin is a replacement for the standard VirtueMart search
plugin, useful for the case when you want to make one of more of
your categories not showing up on search. For example you want to
show up your sold items in the site, for historical reference
and/or SEO reasons, but don't want to show them up in the site
search results.
The plugin has an extra field compared with the standard VirtueMart
search plugin, where you can enter a comma delimited list of
category ID's you want to exclude from search results.
Be sure to unpublish the Search - Virtuemart (or VirtueMart Product) search plugin, and publish instead this one, showing up in plugin list as
Search - VirtueMart Alternate search
