Comment (by DoodleDogCody):

 One thing not mentioned in a few of these "exclude_from_search" templates
 that I have stumbled upon is that if we set it to true and then try a
 custom loop for the CPT with a taxonomy term in a tax query.  We can only
 get the 1st page of results.   So using something like the following only
 returns results for the first page, while the rest of the pages return a
 404.  So if at the end of our loop we have some pagination, the pagination
 knows how many pages there are but when going to those pages it just
 stops.

 I agree with the previous posters that something here really needs to
 change.  'exclude_from_search' should do just that and exclude_from_search
 while another parameter 'publically_queryable' or some new parameter is
 used here.   Not wanting search results to return this CPT but wanting to
 have taxonomy archives pages seems like something that might happen a lot
 and all the answers to accomplishing this seem like big workarounds.


 {{{
     $paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
     $taxonomy = get_query_var( 'taxonomy' );
     $term = get_query_var( 'term' );

     $args = array(
       'post_type'               => 'ddc-products',
       'posts_per_page'  => 5,
       'paged'                           => $paged,
       'tax_query' => array(
         array(
           'taxonomy' => $taxonomy,
           'field'    => 'slug',
           'terms'    => $term,
         ),
       ),
     );
 }}}
