Hi Nuno

You cannot combine the 2. You have to use either one or the other.

Hi Nicolai,

That's what I thought. Could you guys consider it for a feature request. Seems a bit odd that the Advanced search in not an "extention" of the standard search.

I understand the filters work based on the paragraph settings, but if they could change the original dataset priorityzing the search URL parameters, the search filters should work, right?

Nuno

Hi Nuno

ecomquery=something runs on the database and filteret search on the lucene index, and can therefore not be combined.

Bu the index search has a free text field type that can be combined with the facets... Or you can use parameter based search along with the database search module: http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/documentation/for-developers/ecommerce/parameter-based-search.aspx

Hi Nicolai,

Using the search module and parameter based search do not solve the issue, if nothing else, due to price ranges.

The free text search filter only works based on 1 field, unless the "Summary" compiles everything, but I cannot get results based on it. Am I doing something wrong? I did not find any documentation about the Summary.

Hi

I found this in the manual: http://manual.dynamicweb-cms.com/Default.aspx?ID=4392

Default search field
Use the dropdown to select a default search field. This allow you to select a specific product information field in which the search should be performed.
Default is Summary which means that it search in everything.​

Kind regards,
Merethe

Hi Merethe,

I was looking into the filters documentation, did not think to search in the paragraph settings. I managed to get it working now, great.

Thanks,

Nuno

Great, Nuno :)
