Search and Other products by: not working

Post by Mike718NY » Fri Jul 18, 2008 7:49 am

When I do a Search, or click the link "Other products by : ",
it no longer works.
It takes me to the complete products list page instead.
How can I fix this? thanks

If you are using CategorySearchSidebar control on search page from ConLib/Custom folder then use it from the ConLib folder instead of using it from the ConLib/Custom folders.

I'm not using a CategorySearchSidebar control.

I changed the the search control
and now have a SimpleSearch.ascx in the ConLib Custom folder.
Could that be causing it?

It May be, give a try and use it from ConLib instead of ConLib/Custom folder. I have noticed some problem with store search with CategorySearchSidebar when using it from the ConLib/Custom folder. May be this problem exist with this control too

I deleted the Custom SimpleSearch.ascx, and put that code
in the default SimpleSearch.ascx. It's still showing the Products List.
It shows this in the URL:

http://localhost/SuperV/Search.aspx?k=water

The search page doesn't seem to work without CategorySearchSidebar. I have tested a quick work around on search page. I am having a the SimpleSearch control in the left side bar and it woked . I just kept the CategorySearchSidebar on the page as well but made it hidden like

Code: Select all

[[ConLib:CategorySearchSidebar Visible="false"]]

I got a little confused . .
The SearchPage.ascx does have the Src="~/ConLib/CategorySearchSidebar.ascx" ,
and I haven't modified this page.
Not sure where to fix this. Is the problem in the sidebar?

Please go ahead and report it on the CRM. This is a buggy behavior
