nopCommerce v1.9
want to go to advanced search from Homepage SearchBox.ascx

right now there is search box but I added advanced link and not sure what I have to modify so can go to search page with advanced search already open.

In version 1.9 go to this control
NopCommerceStore > Modules > Search.ascx

Go to like 69 and change this line

bool advSearch = cbAdvancedSearch.Checked;

to

bool advSearch = CommonHelper.QueryStringBool("as");

if (advSearch)
    cbAdvancedSearch.Checked = true;

if (!advSearch)
    advSearch = cbAdvancedSearch.Checked;

Now, when you want the advanced search to be selected, append "as=true" to the query string.

http://www.mystore.com/search.aspx?searchterms=hello+world&as=true

If you want to modify the SearchBox control, you can go to the SearchBox.ascx and change line 36 to

Response.Redirect(string.Format("~/search.aspx?searchterms={0}&as=true", HttpUtility.UrlEncode(txtSearchTerms.Text)));

-D

thank you.
