I originally asked this question a few months ago.
Changing the default search parameter from 'any words' to 'all words'

I see now that this has been added as a module tutorial/walk-through in the developer section.

I followed it along to the best of my understanding but when I redeployed the store, it got hung op on Step 6 of 13.

I am wondering if I did something wrong and if someone can help me out here.

I created a simple module as outlined here:
http://devs.x-cart.com/en/getting_started/step_1_-_creating_simplest_module.html

After creating the module I uploaded it and redeployed the store. The empty module is showing up just fine.

Now, this next series of steps is confusing me:
http://devs.x-cart.com/en/customization_examples/resetting_the_search_parameter_from_any_word_to_al l_words.html

Step 2. Says "In this module, add a new class:"

Do I add this at the bottom of the simple module file (Main.php), just after this chunk of code...

public static function getDescription()
    {
        return 'Resets the search parameter from any word to all words';
    }
}

?

I don't know if this was the issue but I did find an error in syntax here:
http://devs.x-cart.com/en/customization_examples/resetting_the_search_parameter_from_any_word_to_al l_words.html

namespace XLite\Module\<YOUR-DEVELOPER-ID>/<YOUR-MODULE-ID>\View\Form\Product\Search\Customer;
class SimpleForm extends \XLite\View\Form\Product\Search\Customer\SimpleForm implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{
   protected function getDefaultParams()
   {
       $params = parent::getDefaultParams();
       $params[\XLite\View\ItemsList\Product\Customer\Search::PARAM_INCLUDING] = \XLite\Model\Repo\Product::INCLUDING_ALL;
       return $params;
   }
}

The bold & underlined forward slash between <YOUR-DEVELOPER-ID>/<YOUR-MODULE-ID> should be a back slash, no?

[BrandonLR]

Also, this new Main.php file is simply in a directory I created called "DefaultSearch"
/classes/XLite/Module/Brando/DefaultSearch

If that is where the file is, should the namespace simply be
namespace XLite\Module\Brando\DefaultSearch;

or does it have to be namespace XLite\Module\Brando\DefaultSearch\View\Form\Produc t\Search\Customer;
as shown in the walk-through?

Did it happen only once?

No, you should create the following new file and enter its contents as per the documentation:
classes/XLite/Module/YOUR-DEVELOPER-ID/YOUR-MODULE-ID/View/Form/Product/Search/Customer/SimpleForm.php

Yes, it should be a back slash. Thank you for finding this!

The namespace should match the path to the file.

For "classes/XLite/Module/Brando/DefaultSearch/Main.php" the namespace should be "XLite\Module\Brando\DefaultSearch", and the class name should be "Main".

For "classes/XLite/Module/Brando/DefaultSearch/View/Form/Product/Search/Customer/SimpleForm.php" the namespace should be "XLite\Module\Brando\DefaultSearch\View\Form\Produ ct\Search\Customer", and the class name should be "SimpleForm".

The documentation only says

namespace XLite\Module\<YOUR-DEVELOPER-ID>/<YOUR-MODULE-ID>\View\Form\Product\Search\Customer;
class SimpleForm extends \XLite\View\Form\Product\Search\Customer\SimpleForm implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{
   protected function getDefaultParams()
   {
       $params = parent::getDefaultParams();
       $params[\XLite\View\ItemsList\Product\Customer\Search::PARAM_INCLUDING] = \XLite\Model\Repo\Product::INCLUDING_ALL;
       return $params;
   }
}

Could you please update the documentation with the needed corrections?

I've asked the person who wrote the article to tweak it.
Thank you!

Thank you. I also figured it out and got it to work. I appreciate your help and clarity.

I am curious though- why so many empty directories?
