Currently Opencart only searches the name and description if desired. This changes the default search functionality to also search the model, UPC, and SKU.
HOW EASY WAS THAT !!!.
ive been thinking of using vqmod for months but never got the hang of it to be honest, so i bit the bullet and installed it using the auto installer ( Bonus ) dropped your file into the vqmod /xml folder refreshed the page and bingo SKU413 was now visable in the search results,,,,, why on earth this isnt a core feature is beyond me, but vqmod made the installation a doddle.... i will now have to see what core edits have been made in my store and try to make the vqmod files for them...
thanks for this

This mod is amazing - I have been frustrated by the lack of this functionality since I launched my store 9 months ago.
Thank you!

Just tried this without success on OC v1.5.1.3.1, QMod v2.1.3
Is it a problem with the versions I'm running?
From vqmod.log, same errors from (6) attempts...

this fix worked for me in 1.5.1.3
Hello! This vqmod is great. Would anyone know how to make the UPC field work with more than just numbers? Reason being I'm using the UPC field as a "hidden" tag for older part numbers but apparently the search won't pick up anything unless it's numbers only in the UPC field. I already updated the character limit in the database, but for some reason I can't get the search to pick up UPCs that have both letters and numbers. Any suggestions?
Great code drivenbyweb. Thanks.
I leave this code updated for version 1.5.3

I'm making a site and I need make a personalized search using 4 drop downs list and a search bar. It is posible to do that? I maen, it is posible to make a query using a drop down list value like a keyword? I'm really desperate 
@dbassa - your code for 1.5.3 works well in 1.5.6 
I had added a search extension which had this functionality, but it only worked with text input and not numbers - my Model numbers are alpha-numeric so it did not work unless the entire numeric sequence was input, your code has fixed that

Does anyone know of how to get this working for 1.5.6? I tried the xml and it is not working for me.
thanks.... worked like a charm.
i was wondering.. is it possible to include 1 particular attribute in the search as well?
we have products with 2 model numbers each.. and we are using one attribute group to define that model number.
is there anyway we can include that particular attribute group just like this one?
would really appreciate the help.
thanks.
