Search module issue

[geraldkoo]

Hi there

i got a question about virtuemart search from the website http://aspac.com.sg/index.php

1) Search under the Category of "Kawasaki pneumatic tools" for KPT-NC-OS, it will not lead you to the product..but just the general Kawasaki page showing all Kawasaki Product. It does not show you the search result at all

2) Now , you go to Homepage and search under "all categories", you will find the Kawasaki KPT-NC-OS is being pop up among the rest of other products in the website. But those products does not show "KPT-NC-OS" at all.

Anyone can help to look into this?

Hi,
You have to check in the vm configuration, you can set the search options, if this is a SKU then you have to check SKU option in VM config

[geraldkoo]

what do you have your search settings set to?

product sku checked?

yes it is checked.. this is what i checked
Available Search Fields
-Product Name
-Manufacturer Name
-Category Name
-Product Short description
-Product SKU
-Product Description
-Category Description

in the search module parameters, do you have "category filter"   checked?

what happens when you use the standard vmart search module?


also, what version of vmart are you using?

I'm using the standard VM search module and it doesn't find anything. Not a productname, not any word of the description. Do I have to apply keywords for my products so they can be found?

Where in the vm config can I find the search options?

[melingmeier]

Now I found it... in product sorting. There are several things selected like product name, description and so on. If I search for the exact name of an item, nothing can be found.

live site?  search term to try?

[melingmeier]

It's live now... https://www.eatberlinstore.de/onlineshop/index.php/alle-produkte
You can find a search field at the top right and one on the left under the category tree. They both find different things (?!). The searchfield at the top should be a global search, but only find items if you browse in a certain category like "Alle Produkte" (all products). The searchfield on the left nearly doesn't find anything.

One more thing: The searchfield at the top can find the term "Berliner" but not "Berlin". Is it possible to declarate some keywords for a product to increase the finding-rate? Where can I do this?

the one on the left has its action url as

<form method="get" action="/onlineshop/miriam-eva-kebe-living/search">...  why?

the top one

<form method="get" action="/onlineshop/alle-produkte/search">

add keywords in a field you don't display say.. Product Short description .. and enable search for that field

[melingmeier]

Thanks for your reply. Where can I set the form method? I checked the module but couldnt find a setting-field...

The "miriam-eva-kebe-living"-entry is very strange. This is the name of one configured manufacturer and you can find it in several URLs where it doesnt belong to. If I see the detailview of a product and click on the manufacturer to open the  manufacturer-product-view a URL like this is shown "/onlineshop/miriam-eva-kebe-living/manufacturer/haus-der-feinen-kost". I have no idea why "miriam-eva..." is mentioned in the URL.
