Product search within admin

[pasher]

Does the search box in the Admin -> Catalog -> Categories/Products work?
I've searched for valid Product Names and Models but never get a result.
I've one Category with 11000+ products in it so selecting just one to modify is impossible without this.
Thanks

Have a look at -

http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...ories/Products

Hope this helps you:)

Thanks for the replay, but I can't see where in that link my question is answered ?

Further investigation shows that the search does work, but not for any of the products in that category with 11000+ entries.

Why should a category be excluded from the admin search engine?

I had the same problem with easy populate.. The prodcuts showed in the search when I made a change to the product. Try moving all of the products to a differnt catagory or rename the catagory..

Thanks Gamer
Significantly, because of the quantity of products in this category, I did use EasyPopulate. I'll have to study the database to see if there are any differences between these, and products that can be searched.
Tried editing a product - no joy.
And because of the quanty of products its not practical to move them, unless there's a 'mass move' command.

Try doing a database backup and then Admin->Tools->Store Manager->Reset ALL Products Master Categories ID

That did the trick.
