    if( ( $q->is_post_type_archive('product') || $q->is_tax('product_cat') ) && $q->is_main_query() ) {
        $tax_query = (array) $q->get('tax_query');
        $tax_query[] = array(
            'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
            'field' => 'term_id',
            'terms' => $excluded_cats,
            'operator' => 'NOT IN'
        );
        $q->set('tax_query', $tax_query);
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_product_categories' );

But the code doesn’t work. What I am doing wrong.

    There are some few mistakes in your code. To hide products belonging to specific product categories from frontend search, use:

    // Settings: Here your product categories array
function hidden_product_categories() {
    return array(
        3233, 3254, 3244, 1990, 3120, 3129, 3121, 2717, 2718, 2355,
        3314, 2356, 3040, 3312, 2978, 2357, 3125, 3117, 2358, 1994,
        3333, 1995, 2998, 2699, 3123, 2714, 2700, 1991, 3330, 3324,
        1992, 3325, 2862, 3122, 3328, 2013, 3156, 2364, 2479, 3246,
        2701, 3256, 3166, 2698, 2353, 3115, 3116, 3251, 3329, 3331,
        3250, 2010, 2011, 2171, 2715, 2796, 2980, 2981, 3124, 3255,
        3243, 2894, 1984, 1985, 1986, 3231, 3101, 3105, 3102, 3109,
        3103, 2418, 2419, 3253, 2814, 3170, 1987, 1988, 2015, 2996,
        2017, 3012, 2989, 2570, 3234, 2571, 2006, 2007, 2004, 3230,
        2012, 2695, 2864, 3235, 3005, 2466, 2908, 2909, 2910, 2008,

        3357, 3358, 2904, 2905, 3245, 2893, 2459, 2795, 2906, 2897,
        2907, 2684, 3153, 3104, 2902, 3240, 2349, 2350, 2351, 3377,
        3161, 3162, 3247, 3248, 3376, 3249, 3239, 1996, 2001, 2792,

        3154, 1999, 2354, 2000, 2895, 3164, 2896, 2021, 3293, 2022,
        3155, 3147, 3167, 3313, 2697, 2911, 2457, 3237, 2901, 2683,
        2898, 2903, 2719, 2793, 2794, 2876, 2877, 2720, 2995, 3252,
        1193, 1205, 1201, 1203, 1511, 3480, 1697, 3165, 1250, 1734,
        1899, 1874, 1729, 1853, 1204, 3363, 1176
    );
}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_product_categories' );
function exclude_product_categories( $q ) {
    if ( $q->is_search() && ! is_admin() ) {
        $tax_query = (array) $q->get('tax_query');

        $tax_query[] = array(
            'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
            'field'    => 'term_id',
            'terms'    => hidden_product_categories(),
            'operator' => 'NOT IN'
        );

        $q->set('tax_query', $tax_query);
    }
}

    Now to hide product categories themselves, it’s something completely different, so you should ask a (some) new question(s), better explaining things and specifying which related plugins you are using.

    Using get_terms_args you can exclude terms globaly.

    function exclude_terms_by_ids($args) {
    // Define an array of term IDs to exclude.
    $excluded_term_ids = array(1,2,3); // Replace with the IDs you want to exclude.

    $args['exclude'] = $excluded_term_ids;

    return $args;
}
add_filter('get_terms_args', 'exclude_terms_by_ids', 10, 2);
