jamesallwood Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi. Does anyone know of a way to set the search facility to automatically search the product description as well as the title without having to check the box in the advanced search? Thanks very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Thanks Sam, I just added it and it looks good. I do enjoy a good snippet! ;) Might as well delete the link to the advanced search now, since it won't get them any different results...?

raschaa Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 hey Sam, thanks alot! unfortuneatly I can't code but when I see it as in your example it all seems so obvious... @Nicole: advanced search still gives the customer a few more options, if your shop doesn't need them, then you might as well delete the link...
