I apologize if this was answered, but I wasn't able to find anything on it. I want a customer to be able to search listings by a manufacture. I've set up each title so that it first lists the manufacture first then the description (i.e. Safariland - 38" Belt), so when you enter Safariland in the search, it works perfectly. Is there a way I add navigation to list the brands so it's easier for the customer? Thank you.

How about this; can someone tell me which file to edit to directly edit the "Products" section of links? Thanks.

I think this will work for you bluecat.... It did for me

If they search the manufacturer they will find em...

Or you can link some searches for them.

Hey thanks DobByteMan, I appreciate it. Actually, that was my idea was to add some links with that linked (with a click) on manufacturer names, because that works perfect; I just want to put it in link form. But I will read through that, thanks again!!

[DogByteMan]

The links would be....

usual stuff/customer/search.php?substring=searchword

or

usual stuff/customer/search.php?substring=searchword1+searchword2


Is that what you wanted???

[bluecat]

Well, I meant which template can I add those links to so they'll show up in the "Product" menu as normal links to the customer but they'll really be search links for them. When a customer clicks on one, it will search the manufacture. Is that possible?

[DogByteMan]

I think in menu.tpl but I'd wait to see if someone agrees

[bluecat]

Yeah I played with that one and it showed up like 6 times under each category, lol.

[DogByteMan]

Yeah, you have to place it perfect or it will do that...

[bluecat]

I'll keep on, lol. But thanks for that link, that code definitely helped my searches; now they can search multiple words and get results.
