# Why is a product not appearing in a collection?

If you're **manually** adding products into your Shopify collections, then the product may have been missed. If this is the case, the product will need to be added to the collection.

If you're populating products based on certain **conditions**, then there are two possible reasons:

1\. The product does not meet the condition (missing tag, title does not contain, etc.)

2\. The tag may be excluded in the Settings of Reactify Search

![If you do not want a product to appear in Reactify Search, you can exclude products by tag. All products associated with Exclusion tags will not appear in a collection or search results page. However, the products may still be accessible through a direct link.](/files/xxPnzA6iSa3FfKjHj0JG)
