is there an easy way to exclude all document to be excluded in result if a certain criteria is met?

for example by default I don't want to have a product in the response if the product status is draft/pending/trash so by default only publish products be the response. Unless i specified that I want a draft product to be the result

Side note: parmeters inside presets can be overriden by the search parameters. So if you don't want an end-user looking at the browser requests to modify the filters you set inside presets, you want to instead embed that filter_by inside a Scoped Search API key
