My search only searches one category

[gripking]

For some reason, my search only pulls results from one category, or one manufacturer. I'm not sure which. Does anyone know how I can maybe fix this?

 

Example:

http://www.springrates.com/cart/advanced_s...amp;x=0&y=0

Not for me it didnt.

 

I noticed you typed in the search S2000 which is not very random.

 

In your search I typed 'front' and found items in all categories.

 

'Exhaust' is another good search term to querie. ;)

That's really strange. When you type a car name, it only shows J's Racing products though.

 

Example: Civic or S2000

 

I'm stumped.

Thats because those names are in the Product Name.

 

If people are going to be looking for products on your site with the car name as the search string, you are going to have to make sure the makes are in the product name/description name somewhere. Else it wont find it.

 

If they are coming to look for a part ie: Exhaust/Springs/Camshaft etc they will find it no problem because that is in the product name.

 

If they are looking for specific words in the description. ie: Honda Type R

They will need to go into Advanced Search and tick 'Search In Product Descriptions'.

 

Speaking of Advanced Search, I think you have a broken Table tag on there some place as the site shoots off my screen to the right quite a lot when loading it up!

 

There is probably a way to make the Advanced Search (With Product Description automatically ticked) on the front page. But that's a bit above my skills, someone else is bound to know.

 

Perhaps a new thread/Forum Search for Advanced Search as Default? :)

We had this working before actually. It was set up to search the attributes. I'll talk to my programmer and see if he can figure it out. Thanks for the help.
