Search for product in Admin panel?

[Hammerhead]

I just can't seem to understand what the search box in the admin panel is supposed to do. Seems to me it's totally useless. All I want to do is to search on a product item number to correct a quantity, but nothing comes up.

What gives?

I trust you are talking about the search field in categories/products screen?

Just type in a descriptive word (such as the model number of the product, or a word that appears in the product name) and press Enter key on your keyboard.)

This will return a product (products) that match the search string.

(It works OK for me...)

the model number or the full name of the product doesn't come up if the product is recently added... I'm just searching more general word in connection with this product...if this make sense..

the model number or the full name of the product doesn't come up if the product is recently added...

Huh???

The instant data is put into the dbase, it becomes searchable. There are no delays.

Most likely you are missing the master_categories_id in these products ...

Do you use Linked Products?

If not, you can go to the Tools ... Store Manager ... click the Update Master Categories ... then, after that is done, click the Update Products Price Sorter ...
