Search in the product description

Hi,

can I search in version 4.00 also in the product description without the extended search but directly via the search field ?.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Best regards

Hello,

You could go to Nop.Web / Controllers / CatalogController, find the Search action and set the searchInDescriptions to true. By default it is set to false.

hi there
I too would like to change the default search settings
i cannot find this path on my web site
Nop.Web / Controllers / CatalogController
im using nopCommerce version 4.20
is there a different path?
Thanks !

Check in CatalogModelFactory.PrepareSearchModel.

Thanks for reply - where do I find this file ?
CatalogModelFactory.PrepareSearchModel

is it in the website admin ? or ?

Cheers

It's available in SOURCE CODE.
Search in Nop.Web » Factories » CatalogModelFactory.cs

ah i think i downloaded the non source code version.
can i still use this?

1. Download source code version
2. Open nopCommerce solution in Visual Studio
3. Change in Nop.Web » Factories » CatalogModelFactory.cs (PrepareSearchModel())
4. Build the solution
5. Publish Nop.Web

then use the published version.

thanks. is there any other way to do this? Ive already published the site and would worry that i would break it !

No you need to change the code or get a developer to do it for you
Can you use Visual Studio ?

That change will only modify one file Nop.Web.dll
Publish the website to a local directory
Take a backup of the Nop.Web.dll file on the website before you change it
You only need to upload the Nop.Web.dll file that is modified
Restart the website site
