TheOrderable Products Onlysearch setting filters unorderable merchandise from storefront search results. Salesforce ' s search-pipeline documentation defines the behavior directly: the setting excludes unorderable products—identified in the documented rule as products whose inventory record hasATS = 0—from search results.
The setting operates on search-result eligibility; it does not generally make the product detail route cease to exist. Therefore, option C incorrectly converts a search filtering preference into PDP routing behavior.
Option B is also incorrect as a general statement because backorderable products can still be considered orderable even when immediate physical stock is unavailable, depending on their inventory configuration and availability model. The important concept isorderability, not simply whether inventory is being fulfilled immediately from on-hand stock.
This setting is commonly used when merchants do not want search pages populated with merchandise shoppers cannot purchase. Because orderability participates in indexed search behavior, administrators should also ensure that the relevant product search indexes are current after inventory/search configuration changes.
