Search on Price

[cyberspun]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out a way to search on price alone and or a price range. I am not sure if the search function is capable of that. Any ideas if SS can do that?

Thank You!

Price is not one of the fields that is indexed for searching, so a direct search by price would not work.

You could use one of the custom fields to include an indication of price and then index that field so that a search for the specific terms that you use would be able to find the products. For example if you use product field 1 and put 1to5 in it for each product that cost from $1 to %5, similarly 5to10 for those in that range and 10to20 etc for each price range.

YOu could then create a custom search field with predefined values of 1to5, 5to10, 10to20 etc. The shopper would then select from the dropdown the value of the product that they want.

Also in later version of ShopSite (9 and later I believe) the shopper can sort the search results based on price in either and ascending or descending order.
