Price filter troubles with part lists products

Hi there,

On my product list page I have a mix of normal products and part list products, shown on a product tile with their price.
For the parts list products that price is set to Fixed price plus changes.

I also have a price filter, for which I use the Ecom:Filters.Price.ContextFrom and Ecom:Filters.Price.ContextTo tag values to set the start and endpoint of my price slider.

Now I noticed that for my parts list products the Ecom:Filters.Price.ContextTo tag doesn't give me the calculated price but the value in its price field (fixed price WHITHOUT changes?).
This results in an unusefull slider, because my part list product prices shown in the product list exceed the max slider value.

Is there a work around for this, or am I doing this all wrong ?

I already thought of getting the highest and lowest value from the product list with javascript, but that doesn't work on the product pages with paging, it's very well possible that the lowest or highest priced product is on another page ....

Hi Peter,

Parts list prices are not available for faceted search, on either the old or the new index implementation.

We currently are not planning on implementing this, because we have not been able to findway to do so, without destroying the performance of the new index.

If you absolutely cannot live without this functionality, you will have to use the new index, and add the data yourself, either by building a custom IndexBuilder or en IndexxBuilderExtender.

The best information about how to customize the new index can be found in this thread:
