[OFBiz] Users - Searching the catalog

[firas-3]

Hi everybody,

I need my "Search Catalog" function to include all products in the catalog
without the use of a "Default Search Category" or the "Rollup" routine.
After reading a couple of posting on this matter I've managed to do that,
but... There is one oddity, though.

Consider this scenario:
In my keywordsearchbox.ftl I use the following search parameters:
        SEARCH_OPERATOR = AND, i.e. All words
        SEARCH_CATEGORY_ID = "" (empty string)
        query string is: notIndexedFoo

The results of this is, as expected, zero matches. Now if I add 'gizmo' to
the search string, i.e. the new search criteria is 'notIndexedFoo gizmo',
the result is all products in Gizmos category (category_id=100). And I
recieve this same result for any multi-word (indexed or not) query string
that contains the word 'gizmo'.

Any thoughts?

I took help of these two postings:

Thank you!

Congratulations... It sounds like you've found the keyword override  
feature. The way you described it threw me for a loop at first,  
because you are not seeing a search result with all of the products  
in that category, you are seeing the category detail page for that  
category.

You can attach overrides like this to certain keywords for a  
ProductStore, and if you look in the Catalog Manager in the Stores  
tab and the Override tab for a the main web store you'll see that the  
word "gizmo" has an override to that category.
