@Prices: This is not an easy task. Users could have different currencies, different delivery countries and VAT, Could have customer specific prices, connected to NAV/AX/Other ERP, have discounts, campaigns etc. etc. So the search result would have a problem getting the real prices and still be 'instant'. Basically only the database price is part of the index. We are aware that this would be really nice and we are working hard on the search in general also to accomodate this.

@Custom fields: Yes. We are on it,.

@Wildcard: On the paragraph on which you have your catalog, you can specify the default search field. Let it be the name or the summary which is a combination of lots of fields. Here you can also set "Always perform wildcard searches" which will do just that.

Now remember this feature is instant search, and not give me all the catalog with all tags feature.

If you want just a product catalog with all the bells and whistles, just use a product catalog page and return it as Json. You can search, go to groups, show products etc. In 8.4 you can do this even easier - see attached document.

We will draft up an example of how to use this instead of instant search.

Also this is one of the sessions on the Tech Conference, www.dynamciweb.dk/tc14.

Hi N,

@Wildcards:
We use the suggested search and the normal free text index search here:

I have checked the "Always perform wildcard searches" but i doesnt seem to make any difference.

Try the words 'kælk' and then 'trækælk'. The result is the same i both site search in the header and the suggested search in the content area. Can you tell me whats is wrong?

Good vibes,
Jesper

Try searching *kælk

Is that what you want? It seems like the wildcard search only adds wildcard in the end...

BR Nicolai

Yes please :)

Hi Nicolai,

Did the wildcard change ever make it into the product?

I just tested on 8.5 and i still can't find find "trækælk" when searching for "kælk".

Hi Martin

Yes it did. On the free text filter, set leading and trailing wildcard checkboxes and on the catalog settings on the paragraph set the "Always perform wildcard searches" checkbox.

Also in MC there is now a boos node you can use for boosting specific fields.

Hi Nicolai,

I just tested this on 8.5.0.1, and suggested search (Instantsearch.ashx) does not use the wildcard settings.

Using the example Jesper gave, "trækælk" is not found when searching for "kælk" via Instantsearch.ashx, it works in normal search.
