    Restricting Search results to specific catalogs?

    jefferis Community Member

      Hi, I've tried to get help from tech support, but can't get a straight answer:

       

      I read the article. However it does not have a description of how to search either within One catalog or how to exclude other catalogs. Right now my search code does not seem to enable catalog specificity, but all catalogs are displayed in the popup menu:


      <select class="cat_dropdown_small" id="CAT_ProductCatalogue" name="CAT_ProductCatalogue">{module_catalogueselect}</select></div>
      <div class="item"><label for="CAT_ProductSearch">Keywords</label><br />
      <input type="text" class="cat_textbox_small" id="CAT_ProductSearch" name="CAT_ProductSearch" maxlength="255" /></div>
      <div class="item"><label for="CAT_ProductPrice">Price</label><br />


      The Site Manager Site Search options allow you to select products or catalogs but not select which catalogs to search.

      Restricting search is relatively easy in MySQL with queries. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to to that in BC…

       

      This would only be for products in catalogs and not the site search Search...

      The product search option does not allow you to specify select catalogs either.   

       

      This is why I think BC is way behind the curve for database management. Simple tasks prove either impossible, or you have to third tier level programmer to modify everything with complex javascripts...
