Advanced Searh

[mvstudio]

I'm testing my advanced search, just to discover it is giving results that don't belong to my query. Just finding out the advanced search includes not only the title and description of the product but also the meta-tags of the category. Is there a way to narrow the search to only look into the description and title of the products?? in other words, how could I deactivate the advanced search for looking into the metatags.

Thank you.

If you want to break that, you'll have to customize the code in a core file: /includes/modules/pages/advanced_search_result/header_php.php
There is no override for that file.

Thank you Dr. Byte, that's what I thought... any idea what should I look for? not to savvy on php.

Thank you for the help.

Any update on this? We are having the samy problem. Search is looking at the meta tags.

I tried this....

In includes\modules\pages\advanced_search_results\header_php.php I removed the following in red.

$where_str = $db->bindVars($where_str, ':keywords', $search_keywords[$i], 'noquotestring');
// search meta tags
$where_str .= " OR (mtpd.metatags_keywords
LIKE '%:keywords%'
AND mtpd.metatags_keywords !='')";

$where_str = $db->bindVars($where_str, ':keywords', $search_keywords[$i], 'noquotestring');

$where_str .= " OR (mtpd.metatags_description
LIKE '%:keywords%'
AND mtpd.metatags_description !='')";
$where_str = $db->bindVars($where_str, ':keywords', $search_keywords[$i], 'noquotestring');
