Help with PowerSearch module

[Cheeky]

I bought the PowerSearch module as recommended.

Problem is that the search in Global-chic isn't the standard setup anymore. Instead of using the SRCH page the store uses a minisearch inset. Also, the search results are returned in a table.

To implement PowerSearch properly it was necessary to replicate the table results within the PowerSearch template.

The results are better but still not perfect. For example, despite the fact that this should only be searching product names it will still search the product descriptions. Search for "dragon" and you'll get a bunch of dragon named products and a couple bedspreads that have dragon flies in the description, not in the product name. And the original issue, search for "table", and you still get an assortment of items that don't have "table" either in the product name or the product description. (jade cabbage, chairs, fountains, etc)

Help!

It sounds like you did not unassign the product_list item from the Items list in the srch page template.

You may also want to look into Latu's Super Search Module (http://store.latu.net/featured/LATU-SUPERSEARCH.html).

I just double checked what is 'checked' for the PowerSearch, and the only assigned thing 'checked' is the Name. Not the description, not anything else.

Another issue you might want to look at. If you are using a minisearch instead of the srch page where the customer selects the field to search, you need to designate which field to search. If you don't designate the field(s), it will search all the fields. Hence in your minisearch form you would put a hidden input like

<input type="hidden" name="srch_name" value="1">
