Inactive Products?

Is there a way to "de-activate" a product. From time to time if a product is
on back order I want to remove it from my site, which is the current case. I
thought I was being smart about this by ensuring the product was not listed
on any product pages, but a customer did a search for it and was still able
to find it. Of course he ordered it and I can't get it!

Is there a better way to make a product completely unavailable without
deleting it?

Thanks,

Kory

To be 100% sure the product is never ordered:

1) remove it from all pages (wont be displayed anywhere)
2) set the search destination to 'none' (cant be searched and found
anywhere)
3) Put a '0' in the quantity on hand, low stock threshhold, and out of stock
limit fields. (cant be ordered, period.).

When you are ready to restore the product, re-assign it to pages, set the
search destination to where you want it, and remove the 0's.
