Search Form and Search Results on same page
 

I've managed to show the Advanced Search form to the left of the search results except for the Manufacturers list box. I assumed that if was all on the same page everything would show, but I'm wrong. Apparently, $manufacturers is empty when products are listed on the page. Everything shows up when I go directly to "search.php" but not when the URL has "search.php?mode=search".

Is there a workaround for this? I'd really like to give the customer the opportunity to "search again" without having to go back to the main search page.

Thanks,

Tony

Open file "skin1/customer/main/search_result.tpl", find next line


and replace them with the following lines:

Thanks for the quick reply Yurij, but the problem is not with the advanced search not showing, only the Manufacturers select box disappears. To see what's happening, go to -

Expand the Advanced Search and search for any Manufacturer. You'll see in the search results the Manufacturer select box is gone from the search form.

Thanks,
