Product Search.

[Guest cgachris]

I need to have the search narrowed down to the title. Now, I am getting 15 to 20 pages of results and the one I test it with can be on one of the last ones. No one including me is gonna go through all that. Any help would be appreciated.

search works best if you search for one key word without a space after it. On some of my sites, i state "Search 1 keyword" and it seems to help.

Hi Mysty.

That is a bit of a pain in the butt. Isn't there something that the developers of CC can do to fix this? Surely not all products are 1 word only.

If anyone out there has a solution (other than the 1 word search) it will be much appreciated.

Cheers

There's a "search complete words only" mod somewhere in these forums. Would that help to cull your search results to a managable level?

Hey guys and gals.

I found this over at the .org forum and thought that it may be useful to a lot of people here. I am not sure if I am permitted to mention the moder's name so I won't. I have tried it and seems to be working just fine for me.

PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO BACKUP ANY FILES BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES.

This quick hack will prevent the search function from searching through product descriptions - limiting the search to the product's title or code.

open: includes/content/viewCat.inc.php

Find:

CODE

$like .= "(name LIKE '%".$searchArray[$i]."%' OR description LIKE '%".$searchArray[$i]."%' OR productCode LIKE '%".$searchArray[$i]."%') OR ";

Replace with:

CODE

$like .= "(name LIKE '%".$searchArray[$i]."%' OR productCode LIKE '%".$searchArray[$i]."%') OR ";

Cheers
