ZCA Bootstrap 4 Template [Support Thread]

[Bruce1952]

Hi All,

Running version 1.58a on a linux server running PHP Version: 8.1.31

Template Bootstrap Version 3.7.4

CKEditor version 5

Image Handler version 5

I am wanting to know how to get the search to start working as you type a number or letters into search box which I have two of. One is the magnifying glass and the other is in a side box (because people don't seem to know what the magnifying glass picture is for).

Is there an option in the configuration settings to adjust this or do I need to change a file and if a file change is needed which file etc.

Once again any assistance is a great help as I am slowly getting through the dev site correcting things (and then updating the live site) that were done in the past by other people (not from here) that lied that they new zencart software.

The "magnifying glass" (when clicked) brings up a modal that uses an AJAX search, returning the found products as they're found; the search sidebox requires that the full search string be entered prior to the product search.

You are telling me that when you type in using the magnifying glass products should come up would that be correct?

If so why do I have to press enter to start it or is it my laptop with the issue not showing the product up?

I'm guessing that the number of products on the site is causing a delay in the response. As I started to write this response, I'd typed li into the search box and once I got to writing the 2nd sentence the list started populating.

So does zencart have a way to speed up the search options because I have thousands of product to list on the site and don't want to loose customers because of slow responses.

Is there a better search module?

That's a good question to ask in the "General" thread.

How many items are on your website? I have 17,000 and mine is instant..
I just tried your website and it's really slow. You may have a server problem or database locking issue.

Also, when I select different options on your header, it's opening a new tab. Not sure why you have it doing that?

I'd contact your host about database issue.

We have a lot of data that gets searched because we have different suppliers selling the same part with different part numbers. That is why you would see a few item show for the same part number or description.

Our search also is searching for model numbers as well as SKU and information in the description box. We have done it that way to make it easier for the customer to find things.
