AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

When I use the search box to search, in a 3 column layout, the right column shows the "Narrow or Expand Results" box, but the main content area shows everything in the store. It's not until you choose a category in the "Narrow or Expand Results" box that it reduces the number of items.

This is not what the customer would expect to happen. How do I change this? Do other people have this problem?

This sort of behavior is already under consideration and its happens when you move the CategorySearchSidebar control to ConLib/Custom folder. Please read the following bug

If you have the same case then for a quick workaround just move the CategorySearchSidebar control to ConLib and use it from there

And where is it now?
My conlib already has CategorySearchSidebar.ascx and ascx.cs in it.

I'm still trying to get the hang of asp.net.

On the Search Page Edit the Category Search scriptlet and check if it is something like then change it as below

Good that works. Though I'm actually using both instead of just the new one. Leaving only the new text in there gave me a results page that didn't show any products. It was just showing me categories and when I drilled down, I never saw anything.

Anyway, I'm good. Thank you.
