Hi,

Should the quick search module allow you to choose an extra field like advanced search does?

I would like users to be able to select between new and used products in the accordian quick search. Can this be done? Should it be working already or have I stuffed it up somehow? I have the zipcode mod also installed - could that be part of the problem?

btw: i purchased your templatecodes package a few months ago and have found it very good, easy to modify and well commented - well done.

Hi and Welcome.

No the quick search in the menu bar of the default does not search extra fields. It has been discussed in the past on how this may be achieved. I am actaully working on an idea to allow that. One of the consequences when we tried back with our templates (slightly different version of the quick search) and modules some time ago was that we found a conflict occurring on searching extrafields on certain pages which also display extrafields (like checkout, viewlisting etc).

Frustrating, any idea how i would hardcode a new or used selector into quick search in the meantime?

See here - it is being discussed again

Extra Field Search / Save Extra Field to Short Desciption

It is never easy as they say until you know how.
