Have you ever had to many products in one category, nobody found anything. If the product has got attributes, why not filter products trough this attributes? This module was developed for a tire shop, we had more than 1000 product in one category and more than 10000 product, there was no option to put in more separated categories, because opencart was really slowed down.

The modification allows you to add UNLIMITED Advanced Attribute Search box to any layout page.

The mod can be found from http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... on_id=7297

- Attributes can be split by a configurable char. If you have, for example, a ClockSpeed Attribute with values like "100MHZ,200MHZ" you can instruct the module to create multiple filter entries by spliting, in this example, by coma. One click and all filters are automatically created.
- Support of select one or select multiple attribute values
- Select multiple categories to filter (it will only filter one categories, but show a dropdown with selected categories)
