Search by product category now shows empty categories (where there are no products; all products are hidden in the catalog). Need correction

The theme has the ability to activate Search by product category for the main search, however, there is a problem: - this leads to the display of categories without products in the search ; - this leads to the display of categories in the search where all products in the visibility settings have specified: Hidden or Shop only. This is not correct behavior. Add a setting so that such product categories are not displayed in the search, or don't display such categories in the search by default in the theme.

Need a setting like this that will affect the display of categories in search and hide empty categories and categories where all products have a certain visibility setting (Hidden or Shop only)

The described feature can be both a proposal and a detected technical problem. Since it is not reliably known how the developers intended these details to work (it seems to me that this particular moment was not taken into account, so it is intermediate between a suggestion and a problem). Since my support period on the forum has expired and given my experience (on the forum, 98% of what I reported is either a bug or an overlooked detail during development that should be included in the proposals), I am adding this to the proposals. All your demo's hasn't empty categories (without products), hasn't category with all products with changed visibility settings - Hidden, Shop Only (its important for this topic, because its important for category search)
