Product Release Note - Constraint-Filtered Search

The “Add Product” search in the Menu Planner now respects your item group constraints automatically. Products that don’t meet your dietary-flag or category rules are filtered out before results load—so every option you see is one you can actually use.

Menu Planner Add Product search showing constraint hint text: Items that violate constraints are hidden from results

✓

Constraint-violating products hidden

Products that break your item group’s dietary-flag or category constraints no longer appear in search results. Previously they showed up as disabled rows—now they’re gone entirely, giving you a cleaner list.
✓

Server-side category filtering

Category include/exclude filters are now evaluated on the server before results are sent to your browser. This means faster searches and more accurate pagination—no more scrolling past items you can’t use.
✓

Works across Menu Plans & Cycles

The filtered search applies everywhere you add products—both in Menu Plans and Menu Cycles. Constraints from the parent plan are inherited automatically, so your guardrails stay consistent.

Quick tip: You’ll see a subtle hint at the bottom of the search results: “Items that violate constraints are hidden from results.” If a product you expect isn’t showing up, check your item group’s constraint settings—it may be filtered out by a dietary flag or category rule.
