Adding 2nd keyword (V 3.12a)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I know, I still have to take the time to implement all my changes etc. to upgrade to ver. 3.5 

The question:

Has anyone "played" with the showsearchresults.asp file, to implement a second keyword function?
I like it to be able to search on 2 keywords, both being "exact"
This cannot be accomplished with the current 1 keyword only.
Looking into the code it should not be too hard, but as I am not a programmer, I simply was not able to do this myself.
Anyone has done this and willing to share?

note:
I do not have to have a 2nd search box in the advance search, but like to be able to accomplish the use of the 2nd keyword.
To give an url example:
mystore/showsearchresults.asp?sku=&keyWord=keyword1&exact=1&keyWord2=keyword2&exact=1&order=2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second:
Can the search (=keywords) also search within the options from the Apparel add-on?
I noticed even the new version 3.5 does not do this.
Example:
I'm searching for a color "black'. In the main product description, black is not mentioned, but it does have options to select black.
The search result does not come up with this product that has the black option.
Any ideas on this one?

	The Apparel Add-On does search options in the sense that the option value (by default) becomes part of the SKU. It does not actually go into the options tables when searching. Searching sub-products is already pretty complex, so joining in more tables will not help with the speed. Regarding searching for additional keywords. This would not be difficult for an asp programmer. You can cut and paste code that is already available in the search results. You may want to ask some of the certified developers for a quote. I do apologize that I do not have time to provide specific steps. But I will do my best to assist if you have more specific questions once you get started.

	Hi Paul, I'm sure you realize you are always welcome to contact me directly on requests like this. I just hadn't responded to this post because I don't have this exact code from any prior project, and figured if you wanted to hire someone you would drop me an e-mail. Greg
