I have a question/need help with your search.
My site has a billion categories, but if you wanted to search for otters, for example, you'd get zero results because the products are only called "otter shirt" using an include that pulls the name of the category into the product name (which was necessary to avoid creating a billion products).
The categories have real names though, so there is a category called "otters." I figured your plugin would be perfect to solve my search by category problem, but there are two snags...
1. The picture for each category says "no image available" instead of pulling the icon for that category.
2. My category descriptions use a trick to pull the name of the category into them (which you were actually helping me with in another thread) so the descriptions of the categories in the search end up like "Embroidered Personalized Gifts for the Lover" instead of "Embroidered Personalized Otter Gifts for the Otter Lover"
Between those two things, it makes it hard to see which result is the one you want. For instance: http://doodlesport.com/super/index.p...=otter&x=0&y=0
There is otter in "trotter horse" and "otter"
So... for problem #2 I need to add code like
$current_categories_description = str_replace('<!--category-->', $breadcrumb->last(), $current_categories_description);
Which is how I tricked the descriptions into inserting the category name in the product descriptions, but I'm having trouble figuring out how add category names to the results - they aren't already there.
For problem #1, need to tell it to pull the category pictures. Then, even if the descriptions are goofy, at least the picture will tell them which is the right result.
Hope that makes sense! Happy to pay you for your help.
