When you display out of stock products in the frontend, it can be annoying that a product manually positioned in a category or for a search query be still displayed at the configured position when it is no longer in stock. A new setting named “Ignore manual positions of out of stock products” available in “Stores > Configuration > Elasticsuite > Catalog Search > Catalog Search Configuration” can now prevent this situation.
