Is there a way to change the search parameters of my Shopping Cart site, so that only the product searched shows up? For example, I search for the number 920 , and multiple items appear. I have a pretty good idea why, it probably searches all products from 920 to 929, but we would like only the product being searched to show up. The url is:

www.fsportswear.com

Thanks for any input!

Hi Chris, I don't believe that is possible from within the software itself.

I was thinking about your last problem with your categories showing up in vertical view instead of horizontal view. Have you thought about not displaying all your categories on your home page. I would just use the feature listing item and just one of your products from each category. Or you can create and insert some html and hard code the links to your product categories.

For example you can insert something like this:

<h1>Our Products:</h1>
<a href="http://www.fsportswear.com/viewcategory.php?groupid=0"><img src="ProductImagePath"></a>
<a href="http://www.fsportswear.com/viewcategory.php?groupid=1"><img src="ProductImagePath"></a>
<a href="http://www.fsportswear.com/viewcategory.php?groupid=2"><img src="ProductImagePath"></a>
<a href="http://www.fsportswear.com/viewcategory.php?groupid=3"><img src="ProductImagePath"></a>
<a href="http://www.fsportswear.com/viewcategory.php?groupid=4"><img src="ProductImagePath"></a>
<a href="http://www.fsportswear.com/viewcategory.php?groupid=5"><img src="ProductImagePath"></a>
<a href="http://www.fsportswear.com/viewcategory.php?groupid=6"><img src="ProductImagePath"></a>
<a href="http://www.fsportswear.com/viewcategory.php?groupid=7"><img src="ProductImagePath"></a>
<a href="http://www.fsportswear.com/viewcategory.php?groupid=8"><img src="ProductImagePath"></a>


Of course if you change the categories in the shopping cart you will have to fix your links in this section accordingly.

Hope this helps

Don't quote me on this lol, but I "think" that it works like any other search on a site and it's not really searching "products" but text characters, so that means it's going to most likely pull up anything that has what you typed in it's content. In other words, any page text, product, etc. that contains your search criteria is going to be pulled up in the search. That's how most searches work that I'm aware of anyways. :)

Sorry Chris maybe I misunderstood. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? My understanding was you wanted a way to display your category fields horizontally instead of vertically like you have them now.

Yea i know :) I couldn't find the other thread where Chris asked about how to make his products go horizontally so when I was answering his original question here I also answered his question prior.

I know my bad I make this thread hard to follow. I won't do that again i promise :)
