    Hi,

    I was wondering if there is a way to allow customers to search for products? The standard wordpress search doesn't go there.

    Thanks!

    I am actually in the process of adding a search option. I should have something ready for you in a day or two.

    Download the new version of extra eStore shortcodes plugin from here:

    http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-shortcodes-and-functions-reference-460

    Then use the following shortcode on a post or page which will allow your customers to search your products database:

    [wp_eStore_product_search]

    Amin007,
    You are doing a great job with this product. I have a question about the [wp_eStore_product_search]. When I add it to the page, it returns the name and price, but there is no way to open the product, or position to the product.

    For example, if I search for an item I have for sale on the same page or another page of products, the name and price are returned but there is no way to get to the product or add it to the cart whithout paging through the pages to find it. Is there something I can set that will allow a returned search to take them to the item when when they click on it?
    Thanks

    If you specify a product page URL for each product the search result will also show the links to their respective product pages where you can display product info, add to cart button etc.

    I would love to add the Search box to the sidebar with the results in the main page. Is there a way to do this?

    thanks!

    That model is slightly complex as you need a search box which is separate from the search result but it is doable. I will see if I can add a shortcode pair for this.

    Amin, For the Product Search, it doesn't seem to search anything other than the title of the product. It would be great if it could also search the description as I have over 4000 products!

    Is there anyway to do that quickly?

    thanks
