Search to include Category Names

[webmaster69]

I have searched all contributions and the forum for this simple mod.

 

This mod is in very high demand, I found lots of people also wanting this, so if anyone can help, you would also be helping a large number of people in the ocCommerce community.

 

I have been trying my best to sort this code over the last few days but I don't have the experience to complete it.

 

Basically all I want to do is bring up the category names that match the search query.

 

Any Help would be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks

I've been searching the forum and contributions for exactly this, and there is nothing. A couple of people have a little go at it but nothing that works.

 

Frank is right there are loads of people also wanting this.

 

Come on - calling the osCommerce Community how do we get this much needed contribution??

 

I'm no programmer but I will do everything I can to Help.

 

Thanks

I just want to be clear what you`re after,

 

Do you want search results where category name matches, or the category name where products match search?

Search results where category name matches.

 

So the query just lists the category names that match.

 

Thanks for replying

Here is the URL of an osCommerce site where I have bought Ink Cartridges.

 

http://www.inkcycle.co.uk/

 

This search includes category names that match.

Yes Ron you are right, this is exactly what I mean, you hit the nail right on the head.

Been away a couple of days, just logged on and can't believe that Sam has done the contribution.

 

I'm going to have a go adding this tomorrow, I'll let everyone know how I get on.

 

Thanks Sam, I'm sure plenty of the osCommerce community will get plenty of use out of this.

I have sent your new hosting account info to you by PM.

 

Thanks again, Frank
