Virtuemart search module

Wed Nov 14, 2012 3:02 pm
We are using the virtuemart search module and wanted to limit the product categories that are displayed. This includes not showing in search resuts some products that are published. On this basis we can't stop products appearing in results by unpublishing them so need another solution. One upside is that it is whole product categories we want to exclude from results not just individual products.

Is there any way to limit the product categories returned in results?

Many thanks for help.

Standard VirtueMart search module has some problem. It has been already reported to the VirtueMart developer team and expected to be resolved soon.

I would suggest that you use the standard Joomla search module in your site which also work for VirtueMart search. VirtueMart has a search plugin which allows the standard Joomla search module to perform search also for VirtueMart products. This is already included in VirtueMart All in One package.

Thanks for response. Does the module you suggest allow me to control which product categories are included in the search results? If not is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks

No it does not allow the same. In that case you will have to wait till the VirtueMart search module bug is resolved by VM team.
