numerous searches and reading posts have only netted info how to mod v1.4x

I need to include 'model' & 'sku' to the default search. We have parts manuals that customers use that have two
different part numbering schemes. We want to be able to give them the option of quickly searching on the part number.

I also searched the installed files for the v1.4x syntax mentioned in other posts and tried adding
url += '&sku=1' += '&model=1'; in a couple of places in search.tpl
../catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/search.tpl with no luck.


Is there an easy edit possible in v1.5.1.3.1?

Thx,

DRAT! - didn't work out. I've posted the errors out of vqmod.log over on this Thread.

[SOLVED] - I think, maybe...

I edited/changed line No.10 of Kyle's code in 'better_search.xml'

was:
is now: Search results are now hitting the 'UPC', SKU', & 'Model' fields in our dB...

Hello,
I just downloaded opencart V 1.5.1.3 and I am totally new to it. I am trying to do a book store where I want the model number field to become ISBN field and when people type ISBN number in search, it should look into the model field too. I found this post which enables the search to look into the model field as well but I dont know where to put this better_search.xml file.

Can anyone please help me understand?

I did the modification but the search still does not search for Model ID. Do you think if it is because of the vqmod version installed that is not compatible? Kind of frustrated. Thanks for helping in advance.

Never Mind. I didn't install the VQMOD correctly. Everything works good, except that I want to eliminate the leading or ending space in case customer put those in or copy phrase from places that have spaces before or after the keywords. Any ideas?

Hi is it a simple process to get the mod to work with location?

Nigel

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to be able to search the manufacturers name and also the location . can the vqmod be adapted to do that?

was:
CODE: SELECT ALL
<![CDATA[if (isset($data['filter_tag']) && $data['filter_tag']) {]]>


is now:
CODE: SELECT ALL
<![CDATA[if (!empty($data['filter_name']) && !empty($data['filter_tag'])) {]]>

working 1.5.1.3
thank you

Works perfectly in OC 1.5.1.3

thanks a lot!

I need the search function to return result only if all the search keywords are included in the description or/and product name. For example, if I type Chevy Tahoe Taillights, the page should only return product that has all 3 words in either the product name or/and description. Currently, if I type in i.e. Chevy Tahoe Taillights in the search box the site returns all Chevy products including non-Tahoe and non-Taillights (www.lenobe.com), and is a listing a few hundred which makes the search function useless.

Any ideas or suggestion?
Thanks much!

Confirmed. It's working on 1.5.1.3. Thanks.

How this will hit on 1.5.4 opencart ?
