Site Search - Strip Dashes From Search Phrase

Multi-Vendor Questions

v4.6.2

Any idea which variable in which file that I can apply a str_replace to strip dashes out of the site search value? I've played with $piece in the fn.catalog.php in various places but it just seems to break it.

The need is because customers type in the product codes incorrectly. Such as 'HUB-4816' when the actual product code is 'HUB48-16'. I want to strip dashes so the search phrase becomes 'HUB 4816' which will at least display products instead of the No Products Found result. TIA

Hello

You should handle the "get_products_pre" hook

Please try

$params['q'] = preg_replace("/\-/", " ", $params['q']);

Remember that product search divides the string by spaces and searches for each piece.
