in theory u shouldn't see cats as->
components\com_virtuemart\views\category\tmpl\default.php

if (empty($this->keyword) and !empty($this->category)) {
   ?>
<div class="category_description">
   <?php echo $this->category->category_description; ?>
</div>
<?php
}

Is there any proper fix for this yet?

It is annoying that Categories are shown on top of search results ... and it does not help to set Show Children Category to No .. because then Children Categories are not showing at all on the shop.

Using VM 3.6.11 Build 10289 with VMuiKit 5.2

Many of the posts on the forum regarding this topic are not even answered ... categories should be removed from search results permanently ... people are not searching a shop to see the category list but to see the search result list.
