Title: VirtueMart Products Search works only in specific category
Post by: giofranz on January 21, 2019, 17:54:00 PM
I guys, i noticed that on my installation (joomla 3.8.12 - VM 3.4.2) the VM search module (in sidebar) work only on the category you are in. If you search products from other categories doesn't work. For example: if you search "cat" in "feline" category works fine but if you search "cat" in "birds" it doesn't show any result.

I tried disabling "Search Filter Category" but still doesn't work.

Any suggestion? TY!

HI, thanks for the help. What kind of module do you use instead?

rarely use search modules .. with a clear and logical nav system in many cases a search isn't needed
