Hi Martijn

Using filtered search would give you all the rendering of a normal product list. It also supports searching on one or more properties at the time. You can i.e. add a freetext filter a long with a range filter that looks at the Price. You can combine as many as you want.

You might want to check the docs.

Further there is also the Ecommerce parameter based search:

Hi Nicolai

That's great to hear, we will take a closer look at it.

Hi Nicolai

I have read the documents, there I saw no new options we are not already using.

What we would like to achieve is to get a URL like searchresult.aspx?q=searchterm,  so the Analytics can index the searchterm and it searches in different productproperties.

For searching in more fields using the filtering I think it's only possible now to create a URL like 'searchresult.aspx?q=searchterm&title=searchterm&brand=searchterm'

Am I correct?

Hi Martijn.

Yes, that is correct. And that is not what you are looking for? If not, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve.

Hi Nicolai

The wish is to show only 1 parameter in the URL, like searchresult.aspx?q=searchterm, which searches in more than 1 productfield.

Just like the Search Weighted can do.

For our customers it's important that their customers can search for products and add them to cart directly.

That's possible with using filtering, not with the Search Weighted.

Searching in more than 1 field with only 1 parameter in the URL is possible with the Seach Weighted, not with filtering. But the Search Weighted has no possibility to add products to cart directly, only going to the productdetail.

The wish is to have a filteroption like 'Multiple fields', where we can select the productfields that can be searched in.

Some standard fields are not very important to search in, and some other (maybe custom fields) are very important.

It would be nice to control that.

For example, a customer searches for 'bike', the searchresultpage would be searchresult.aspx?q=bike.

The filter 'Multiple fields' searches for 'bike' in the fields 'Name', 'Short description', 'Synonyms' (custom added field). And not in the fields 'Long Description', 'ProductMetaDescription', because they are not selected in the filtersettings from 'Multiple fields'

I hope this clarified it's a little more.

Hi Martijn

yes, now I get it. You can search on the field Summary - that should contain all of the fields. But you cannot specify which fields to include and which not to include. We will discuss that feature.
