DW8 filter upgrade problem with subfiltering

Hi DWs

I have a small problem with the filters. I have copied a filtersearch with I have made for plussvvs_no to a client on a DW8 solution.
But now the filter dont "range out" those priceintervals which are not in the group ie

Old filter search:
Group: Køkken
Prices: 1000-2000, 2000-3000,3000-4000  (only those which inside group)

New filter seach:
Group: Køkken
Prices: 1000-2000,2000-3000,3000-4000,4000-5000,5000-6000 (all price intervals in shop)

Selecting one of the price intervals in the new search makes the filter search crash, since the result dont exist.
Dw support said that something was changed, what has changed?

Hi Peter,

Do you have a URL where I can provoke the error?

yes sure. just note that I have a case running at the moment with support #89997
I dont know if some of the guys inthere are trying to fix this for us also. It might be something that I have setup wrong!

1. On the other client running dw7 the group filters the price, but it does not on dw8 solution

http://sandboxprogramming.net.dynamicweb.dk/shop.aspx (DW8 solution)

-Try to select "Hummel" then the price is still all the shopprices
-If you select the prices first then the group filters
-If you select Hummel and then 800-900 the filters stops, since that product is only in Adidas


2. I cannot activate the button "limit options within group" to work, shouldnt it be working?

 

3. I cannot find documentation for the pane "Ydelse", where is this?

this is also happening since upgrade to dw8 on that solution where the groupfilter is our problem (see attached)
Might just delete whole search index file.

 Hi Pavel

Please write me if you need any input to this problem. 
If you could take a look at it presently that would be fantastic.

thanks

Hi Peter,

1. Unchecking "Search inside all child groups" on a paragraph settings will instruct the system to limit the search by current group only (in 7.2 it was always the case, not it's optional).

2. "Limit options by the contents of the current group" is not supported for filters of type "Groups" and "Price" (the ones you have). If you want to show sub-groups of a current group (GroupID query-string parameter) within the "Groups" filter, you can configure this by opening filter settings page (Management Center -> eCommerce -> Product catalog -> Search filters) and selecting "Current subgroups" under "General" section.

3. One of the issues that you illustrated on a screenshot was fixed (#8899 "Exception is thrown while updating the index if indexer queue contains items with no IDs"), the other exception (with "UpdateVolatiles") I cannot provoke yet.

4. "Performance" pane: read my blog post, there's a section called "Performance improvements" where I explain what it is and how it works.

Just so others can follow up on this issue:

The problem with price filter is confirmed as a bug (#8912, "Wrong number of potential search results is sometimes displayed when there are several filters on a page"). The fix is already made and will be available in the nearest release of 8.x (7.2 is not affected).
