If you have CDSEO, change the following in smart_search.tpl to use cdseo links vs. categoryids:

Code:

{section name=rc loop=$related_categories}

  <li>

  <a href="home.php?cat={$related_categories[rc].categoryid}">{$related_categories[rc].category}</a>  

  </li>

{/section}

Code:

{section name=rc loop=$related_categories}

  <li>

  <a href="{$cdseo_cat}/{$related_categories[rc].cdseo_url}/" title="{$related_categories[rc].category|escape:"html"}">{$related_categories[rc].category}</a>

  </li>

{/section}

A+, best mod out there!

I am having trouble finding this code...Actually, my version is not finding related categories. Can I just plug this code into the tpl file?

Oh, and Bill is f*ckin awesome. Both the Smart Search and Buy Together mods have changed my site for the better. I am ecstatic with the product and support!

I have CDSEO installed and did this little modification, but the search result links still show productid links instead of the CDSEO link...
Has anyone else gotten this to work correctly? And yes, I did run the DB rebuild thing after changing and uploading this file (and template cache cleaning)

WOW.... that's all I can say.... WOW! I have always hated the stock search function. This is hands-down the best and most helpful mod I have ever implemented. The speed knocked my socks off and the versatility is top notch. I think you may have thought of everything on this one. Thank you thank you thank you for SmartSearch!!!!!!

Re: Smart Search from alteredCart :: Spell Checking, Did You Mean? and More.

One of our customers has several products with 'rasp' in the title. The problem is xcart is bringing search results back with 'grasping' in the product title. The problem is 'grasping' is sometimes placed above 'rasp' in the results returned. Will this mod fix this?

The Smart Search uses a natural language search, sorting by relevance, and will NOT return 'grasping' if 'rasp' is search for. (Unless there are no matches for rasp, then a partial word match is used as a last resort).

Also, the products with the word 'rasp' in the title will be at the top of the results, followed by the products that include 'rasp' In the description and sorted by frequency (A product that has the word 'rasp' 5 times will be above a product that has the word 3 times.)

Re: Smart Search from alteredCart :: Spell Checking, Did You Mean? and More.

I have found this mod to be a huge !!! improvement over the stock x-cart search function, one question though ...

Should the feature comparison checkbox be available in the search results for products with a class assigned. I have integrated smart search with a copy of my products.tpl template and although the feature copmparison code is in the smart_search_products.tpl it does not display in the search ?

Something I've missed ?

Bill,

You mentioned there would be an update in the future to address a few items, including extra field search - any update?

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 03:13 PM.
