OpenCart Community

Maybe this has been done, but I've poured over the forums and extensions and haven't found a solution. My site will be based on search results to find products, rather than mining through category pages.

I would like each of my categories to have their own specific section to the results page, much like if you search for "blue" in iTunes you would see a few results for Apps, Albums, Songs, Books, etc all matching that search query....but each would show up under a heading for the category. You could then click "see all" to filter a specific category.

Is this possible? Thanks!

yes possible you can get category id code from url

add this to your search query using some javascript or ajax

Thanks for the response trinkaljuneja! Maybe I don't understand what grabbing the category ID and adding it to the search query does for me.

If I add a category filter to the search I can only see one category at a time, no?

I want all categories to be present on the results page, with products sorted under each category heading. Thanks again for your help!

I still haven't figured out a good way of setting up search results like this.

I would be willing to pay for an extension if someone can put this together. Thanks for any help or insight!
