Search Autocomplete

As per subject, did anyone manage to find a solution for CS v2?

It’s a pretty cool thing and in some way, it helps customers to narrow their search.

type hard in the search field.

I already request this feature on bug tracker. May be you also force developers to make this feature on next version.

If they do add something like this I hope they make it optional. This type of feature is very database intensive and if you have tons of customers searching at the same time it will really slow down your site. I am not convinced this feature is a good thing. I find it frustrating when I visit a site that uses it.

I think this would be an excellent feature. Most large ecommerce sites have this. It really helps customers find what they are looking for.



Amazon implemented this and they saw an immeidate increase in revenue.

Hate shared! Love Dedicated.



PEACE!

We also need AJAX based search on front end !!! :cool:

Great feature.



In the past I always removed the default search as it only found around half of our products.

Agree, we need it as well

I agree to, and i think it haves a technic that arent a great database using, because how made Google and the bis other one it?



Also i find it is a great feature!



And in this case we should made the “Error tolerant advanced search” too! Because i am sure that encrease the sales too!

this feature is under tag section at the product page admin side.

it finds the tags made by the admin or user. so this feature can be implemented on the search and instead of tag but search words. anyone be able to make it?

i will be trying to make it and if i do i would ofcourse share it here.

getting there but not 100% yet. need help guys.



ok the file to be edited is: YOUR SKIN/common_templates/search.tpl



the inout code should look like the one at: YOUR SKIN/customer/addons/tags/views/tags/components



Ok here i see a script called {script src=“lib/autocomplete/autocomplete.js”}



this (my guess) completes the auto suggest.



but in the code all the words are used is tags…



so i found at:



YOURSKIN/customer/views/products/components/products_search_form.tpl



the word (or database search) should be or could be $lang.keywords





looking at these 3 files would take us somewhere but i would need a help someone who knows more than me on coding.

silver you get it?

what i got is a BIG “0”



nope m8 still working on it. or maybe i will just wait until the new version comes out.

i also need the datafeed to work for shopping.com and others. so i guess its better to wait.:frowning:

It’s better to let cs-cart maintain this addon for better performance and it’s less trouble for us.



This feature has been confirmed for almost 3 months. If you want cs-cart to hear your voice, please post your request and idea at this link:

web… have this as addon

really good but i find it would be better if the customer click on the searched word and then the website searched after this click. But the customer search for exampke “adidas” see results must click and must click search button again.

Try the demo now on his site. It does submit now on click instead of just filling in the search text box.

This is much better than what I was thinking about. Great job. I’m waiting for 2.0.12 and will proceed with a few modules from WebG.



A BIG thank you from me and kisses from my wife :wink: We will have the coolest website in town!

Was going to just now start to code this feature in and thought i would have a ponder on the forums to see if someone has done one as a contribution but just had a look at this one and you got to pay for it! can understand people buying if they have no idea or can code it but i am not one of those lol



think im going to tackle and make this myself however it would not be done as an addon you can install and manage from the admin side of things!



very nice addon though!

Just had a little play with the demo and seems a little slow when grabbing the results… guess this might be due to the thumbnails getting pulled in not sure but all in all a great addon!

If anyone is interested i have built something similar to this without the administration management part as an addon - just some template modifications and extra file!



let me know and will post a contribution on the forum - otherwise wont bother!
