My clients' distributors supply a bunch of product data that is relevant to the customers but doesn't fit into Zen Cart out of the box. The products are mostly sheet music, so the available data includes things like composer, instrumentation, arranger, genre, and the like.
If I use Text or Read-Only attributes to store this information, will it be searchable? (And which one of those would be best?) I'd rather not create custom product fields, especially if I'd then have to re-code the search functionality to make this data searchable (or re-code for Easy Populate to be able to use custom fields).
Another thought I've had is to write a script to incorporate this extra data into the product descriptions, prior to importing the data with Easy Populate.
Am I looking at this problem the wrong way? Any tips?
Thanks!
