Hi,
Is there an easy way/templates for search in product catalogues?
The Seach checkbox in the paragraph options does nothing for me, so I have to create a form in the page template and build the url according to the search criteria, and send it to a page with the module applied, so it filters the products.
This works, but I was looking for a "Dynamicweb" approach to it, similar to the search module. Does the solution have to have the search module licensed as well? Is this the best/only way to do searches in the product catalogue?
Best Regards,
Nuno
Hi Nuno
As I see it, there are two possible ways of solving it.
1. Use parameterbased search like I do on my test site http://disecomdemo.net.dynamicweb.dk/Default.aspx?ID=23
Here you can seach in specific fields. Eg. ProductNumber
2. Use Weighted Search Like on do on http://disecomdemo.net.dynamicweb.dk/Default.aspx?ID=24
With this search, as I remember, the only field you need is your question/searchparamter:
<input type="text" name="q" value="">
And when you configure the module (you need a license) , you choose which groups to search in.
I hope this answers your question.
