WordPress/WooCommerce: Adding product_variation to the search parameters is pulling up draft products

I have a WooCommerce store for makeup, and we need to make it so that variation names are searchable, since people will often be looking for a specific shade name. I’m using this bit of code to make the product variations searchable:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'search_woocommerce_product_variations' );

function search_woocommerce_product_variations( $query ) {
    if( ! is_admin() && is_search() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page', 'product', 'product_variation' ) );
    }
}

Edited to add: I’ve already tried adding this in, with no changes in the search results:

$query->set('post_status', array('publish'));

The problem is that when searching on the name of a variation it’s pulling up products that do that have that search term in the variation name, but are currently set to Draft status. How can I prevent that from happening?

    Tell the query which post_status your looking for:

    add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'search_woocommerce_product_variations' );

function search_woocommerce_product_variations( $query ) {
    if( ! is_admin() && is_search() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page', 'product', 'product_variation' ) );
        $query->set('post_status', array('publish'));  
    }
}

    <?php
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'product',
    'numberposts' => -1,
);
$products = get_posts( $args );


foreach($products as $product):
$product_s = wc_get_product( $product->ID );
if ($product_s->product_type == 'variable') {
    $args = array(
        'post_parent' => $plan->ID,
        'post_type'   => 'product_variation',
        'numberposts' => -1,
    );
    $variations = $product_s->get_available_variations();
    echo '<pre>';
    print_r($variations);
    echo '</pre>';
}
endforeach;
?>
