Instant Search

[NWCE]

Perfect suggestion....I upped the PHP to 7.4.9 (was 7.3.21) and it now works perfectly and throws no errors!

Thanks for your help....and again for updating this very useful plugin.

Thanks again,

Jeff

Please note that PHP 7.4 is End Of Life (EOL) and not supported. You should consider going to 8.0 as a minimum if you are running 1.5.8.

Version 4.0.0 Beta of the plugin is available on the GitHub repo (https://github.com/marco-pm/zencart_...earch/releases):

• Refactor of the search class to allow the use of different search engines (with automatic fallback to MySQL if the search engine is unavailable)
• Support for using Typesense as a search engine (with the Typesense add-on)
• Improved display of categories and brands in the dropdown
• Search in the product category and brand
• Complete rewrite of the JavaScript code of dropdown and results page with React and TypeScript
• Improved dropdown accessibility and keyboard navigation
• Various bug fixes and improvements

Apologies for yet another major version change after last month's v3 release, I know keeping up with the constant changes is quite frustrating.
I had to make some major code changes to accommodate the Typesense add-on (which allows you to use Typesense as engine for Instant Search instead of MySQL).

There are other major changes as well, especially regarding the results dropdown, hence the "Beta" tag. It would be extremely helpful if any of you could try installing the release and let me know about any bugs

If everything seems to work fine, I'll remove the "beta" tag and submit it to the plugin sections here as usual.

Works on zc158 php7.4 to php8.2
I installed v3.0.1 first , ran it then dumped v 4.0.0 over it. V4.0.0 installed correctly. Ran well. It is fast.
It stopped my search box in side_boxes
Uninstalled it
PHP 8.2 Fatal Error: Undefined constant "FILENAME_INSTANT_SEARCH_RESULT" in \includes\classes\observers\auto.instant_search_observer.php:37

I'm not able to reproduce the issue.
What template are you using?
Can you check that the file zc_plugins/InstantSearch/v4.0.0/catalog/includes/extra_datafiles/instant_search_filenames.php is present (it should be, but I can't think of anything else)?

My apologies. The error occurred after disabling the Instant Search, because I switched templates and the template files were in my bootstrap clone folders but not in the source bootstrap folders.
