Can make global changes to custom search fields?

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

   Hello,

In an effort to speed up my launch process, I am shaving off tasks that I originally wanted to accomplish for my ProductCart launch.  One of these tasks that I am "nixing" is to delete 3 of the 6 custom search fields that I started to add to my products.  So, I am wondering, is there a way to globally delete these custom search fields from my products?

If I were to import a new spread sheet with these 3 search fields, and make all of them blank (except for one so the import will take, and that I can delete after the import), would this cause the custom search fields to not show up, since there is no data in the field??

Thanks for your help!

	I think the stuff you're looking for is on this page: /pcadmin/ManageSearchFields.asp

	I see. Thanks Brett. So simple. I didn't realize I could just deactivate the custom search fields on the store front side. SUPER!

	Glad I could help. Hey, I tried using those on my store a while back, but every time I enable them, they slow everything down to a crawl. If you get a chance, please let me know how the custom search fields run on your site once you've got them all set up and had a chance to test them. I'd like to see if it's just me who's having these lag issues. Edited by Brett - 19-May-2011 at 5:39pm
