Search module and category filter

[PabloArias]

I'm using the Virtuemart search module configured with NO category filter but when I look for a product inside a category, search results are only from the current category I'm browsing.

I'm using Joomla 2.5.9, Virtuemart 2.0.20b and PHP version 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.2. I've tried with Beez 5 template and same result.

Thank you and best regards!

when you examine the code

in the form
is it adding the category id?

<input type hidden> 

[PabloArias]

This is the form declaration in default.php file (in modules/mod_virtuemart_search/tmpl directory):

<form action="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&search=true&limitstart=0&virtuemart_category_id='.$category_id ); ?>" method="get">

Thank you and best regards!

when you view the source of the webpage

When I view the source of the webpage the form has only this action: "component/virtuemart/search".

Thank you

thats all it has?

Mine has

<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_virtuemart" />
      <input type="hidden" name="view" value="category" />
</form>

[PabloArias]

Mine has:

<form method="get" action="/component/virtuemart/search">
  <div class="searchflush">
    <input type="text" onfocus="if(this.value=='Buscar') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Buscar';" value="Buscar" size="20" class="inputboxflush" alt="Buscar" maxlength="20" id="mod_virtuemart_search" name="keyword" style="height:16px;vertical-align :middle;">
  </div>
  <input type="hidden" value="0" name="limitstart">
  <input type="hidden" value="com_virtuemart" name="option">
  <input type="hidden" value="category" name="view">
</form>

Thank you

hi PRO

Also having issues with Category search filter - finding lots of threads on this, but no solutions for me as yet.

Almost works, but initial search in a category shows only results in that category, on refresh it shows results in all categories; eg url
index.php?keyword=9&limitstart=0&option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=0

I have tried this on two servers now; and various "solutions" from multiple threads.

Thanks for reading
