Search description by default

[Guest]

When we use the search feature on the first page only the text in the

product title is searched. A customer can only search the description

field if they fo to Advanced Search. Is there a way to make the first

search attempt to include the description?

[Guest]

I need to add this to one of my sites. Hope someone answers.....

That's what you are looking for: tep_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description','1'

It works.

 

Find: ".tep_hide_session_id()"

Insert: ". tep_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description','1') . tep_draw_hidden_field('inc_subcat','1') . ' '"

Become: ". tep_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description','1') . tep_draw_hidden_field('inc_subcat','1') . ' ' .tep_hide_session_id()"
