simple search ignores keywork, returns all products

[ksolito]

Problem existed in v7.0.2 and remains in 7.0.3.

We display but the simple search entry field and button and a link to Advanced Search on the header bar.

The advanced search works fine but the simple search returns all items in the store regardless of the value (if any at all) entered. I read some other posts about problems with the Simple Search but they don't seem to apply. Our simple seach code is unmodified.

Are you using CategorySearchSidebar on store search page? There was a problem that store search returns all records if you don't have CategorySearchSidebar control present on search page.

Found it. I added this: [[ConLib:CategorySearchSidebar Visible="false"]] since we don't want the CategorySeachSidebar.

Thanks.
