Well, I am not too sure ..

If it answers - I have activated the following plugins:
Search - Categories
Search - Contacts
Search - Content
Search - Newsfeeds
Search - Weblinks

Is there some particular way by which I need to configure the search fields? Please suggest.

Thanks.

this
Search - Categories

will return the categories when you search

I disabled the rest of the plugins (content, contacts, weblinks, etc) - but still the search did not display any results !

have you looked in the vmart configuration? "Product Order Settings" tab

Well, my "Available search fields" includes product names, short descn, category name, etc..
However, the search only shows results from Joomla content .. Any other string results in "0" search results !!
Seems VM data is not being screened.

Read on couple of forums, that one needs to use (some) plugin which includes VM data with Joomla content in searches.. If this is the case, can you please suggest any such plugin ?

Please help !!

then u need to use the vmart search module, NOT the joomla one

Maybe I don't understand you, but I've disabled all search fields exept Product Name and search results are still showing underneath categories.
Default Joomla 2.5.1 installation with no other extensions, default template and default VM 2.0.1f installation with sample data.
