Bug hide product if in hidden category

Hello.

I can see that in version 1.2.4 there was an update to “Hide Categories in search results”.

However, what this actually does is hide any products from appearing the search results, if they are tagged as a hidden category. This is not the functionality that is wanted.

I can confirm that i have only hidden “Categories” from the shop, simply to hide internal management categories like “Core range” and “Limited Edition”. However, any products that are tagged with these categories (and even if they are also tagged with other categories not hidden), do not display in the WordPress default search.

I have had to revert to 1.2.3 to resolve this.
