Products Without Categories Are No Longer Removed During Indexing
Previously, if a product had no category at the time of indexing, it was automatically removed from the index. This could make products disappear from search or listings if categories were still being set up or cleaned up.
The logic has now been changed to stop removing products that have no categories during indexing.
