Hello.

Joomla 3.7.5 and Virtuemart 3.2.4.

When using the default Joomla frontend search box (virtuemart search plugin is enabled with all fields selected) I can't find products by SKU. I checked backend configuration and SKU is selected as search field.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I just tested this and it works OK for me, J3.7.5 VM3.2.4 with default VM templates. Maybe check that Search Filter Category is not selected in the search module configuration.

Thanks jenkinhill for your answer.

However I don't understand your suggestion. Do you mean that category related fields must be unchecked on Virtuemart Configuration "Product order settings / Available Search Fields" ?

When trying to search for a product if you are within a category that does not contain the product you are searching for then it will not be found.
