SergeiG Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hello! As I found, when I use a search form it use only product name and product description fields as an area for search. I would appreciate if you help me to add the manufacturer field to an area of search. For example, I have a products by 'QQQ' manufacturer (without 'QQQ' in names and descriptions). I want to enter 'QQQ' as a search keyword and receive a list of this products as a result of search request. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Welcome SergeiG! Glad to see you made it to the forum. In CC615 (maybe CC614 as well), the Advanced Search page (in the Foundation skin) should give you a selector to filter by Manufacturer. It will be difficult to include the manufacturer's name in the Quick Search field, as only the 'manufacturer_id' number (as a key into the manufacturers database table) is available in the Inventory table, where the search is performed.

Thank you for respond. Currently, I try to tune the CC615. If I use the Advanced Search and choose a Manufacturer, I must to enter something as a search keyword. However, my goal is next - I want to receive a list of all products from one manufacturer. May you recommend how to achieve this goal?

However, in addition to the manufacturer field, I also want to do same with other fields which I added (Author, Series and etc.). So , it will be necessary to modify your plugin. As a result, firstly I spend money and after that I spend time. It will be more beneficial for me just spend time and do everything by my own.
