Title: Customizable Search Module
Post by: mausci1969 on February 03, 2017, 04:52:21 AM
Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a Search Module for my Shop to search among the products, categories too, but not descriptions.

Any suggestion?

Tried a couple of Search module that were part of the template I bought, dunno if they are the one that you're saying. There are many Search Modules. I tried to search yours but I'm not sure which one is the one. Can you send me the link of it? Thanks.

The default VM search module is named VM - Search in Shop  in the Joomla module list. It is configurable.  Sounds like you have a quick-install package. They can cause problems if the guy who put the package together deletes the default VM extensions.

To understand VM setup and configuration properly install Joomla & VM separately - or use the official quick-install package, latest available is

I've been talking about it with the template guys and they told me that they cannot find anywhere the ' VM - Search in Shop' module. Actually I didn't too. Can anyone indicate me where to find it?
As always, thanks in advance

See these images. First is Joomla's module list, second is the module directory on the server.  I assume the template guys are not idiots, but did they install the VM aio component as well as the main VM component? The modules are in the aio package.
