Search Settings
Search capabilities have been much improved in Miva Merchant version 9.0007. You can now select product fields to be searchable, make custom fields searchable, and implement full-text search on supported database servers. There is also a new search preview option.
There is a new Search Settings tab in the User Interface.
| Searchable Fields: | Check the fields that you want to be searchable in your store. Product Code, Product Name, Product SKU and Product Description are searchable by default. Searching on Attribute and Option codes and prompts can enabled by checking the appropriate boxes. For example, if you make Attribute Prompt searchable, shoppers can search on ‘Extra Large’ to find all extra large products in your store. If you make the Attribute Code searchable, shoppers can search on ‘XL’ as well. |
| Searchable Custom Fields: | If you have custom fields, you can make them searchable as well. Highlight the field in the left box and click on the Select > button to move it into the right box. To make a searchable custom field unsearchable, highlight it in the right box and click on < Deselect.
|
| Use Database Full-Text Searching | Full-text searching uses MySQL FULLTEXT. This allows shoppers to search on any text string that appears on a product page. For example, a shopper might search on ‘twill’. If full-text search is enabled, all products with ‘twill’ in the description would appear in the search results. |
Search Preview Settings
| Search Page: | The search page is SRCH by default. Click on the LOOK UP button to change to a different page. |
| JavaScript Template: | This code controls search preview functionality and content. You can customize search preview by editing the JavaScript Template code. |
