Set default search to include item description

Hi, we are using NopCommerce 3.30, it seems the default search only search item title. Is it possible to set the default search including item description and SKU #. SKU # searchable is very important for us (both customer and our employees), as we save the item parts # in the SKU field. When customers call in, they like to give us that number.

Thanks!

Go to Presentation (or Nop.Web) / Views / Catalog / SearchBox.cshtml

Open this file and add the following code right above submit button:

 <input id="As" name="As" type="checkbox" value="true" checked="checked" hidden="true" tabindex="14">
    <input id="Sid" name="Sid" type="checkbox" value="true" checked="checked" hidden="true" tabindex="22">
  

So, your code should look like this:

<input type="text" class="search-box-text" id="small-searchterms" autocomplete="off" value="@searchTooltip" name="q" />
   @Html.Widget("searchbox_before_search_button")
<input id="As" name="As" type="checkbox" value="true" checked="checked" hidden="true" tabindex="14">
    <input id="Sid" name="Sid" type="checkbox" value="true" checked="checked" hidden="true" tabindex="22">
   <input type="submit" class="button-1 search-box-button" value="@T("Search")" />
   <script type="text/javascript">
       $(document).ready(function() {
           $("#small-searchterms").focus(function() {
               if (this.value == '@T("Search.SearchBox.Tooltip")') {
                   this.value = '';
               }
           });

           $("#small-searchterms").blur(function() {
               if (this.value == '') {
                   this.value = '@searchTooltip';
               }
           });
       });

Thanks a lot to L.K. Very nice!

Hi! I tried to use this code and it set only Search In product descriptions without set the Advanced search, so it does not find the itens in product description! Can you help on this?

This is my code in SearchBox.cshtml

@model SearchBoxModel
@using Nop.Web.Models.Catalog;

@using (Html.BeginRouteForm("ProductSearch", FormMethod.Get, new { @class = "navbar-form navbar-left", id = "small-search-box-form"}))
{
    <div class="form-group">
        <input type="text" class="search-nav form-control" id="small-searchterms" autocomplete="off" placeholder="@T("Search.SearchBox.Tooltip")" name="q" />
        @Html.Widget("searchbox_before_search_button")
    <input id="As" name="As" type="checkbox" value="true" checked="checked" hidden="true" tabindex="14">
    <input id="Sid" name="Sid" type="checkbox" value="true" checked="checked" hidden="true" tabindex="22">
        <input type="submit" class="btn search-box-button" value="" />
        @if (Model.SearchTermMinimumLength > 0)
        {
            <script type="text/javascript">
                $("#small-search-box-form").submit(function(event) {
                if ($("#small-searchterms").val() == "") {
                    alert('@Html.Raw(HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode(T("Search.EnterSearchTerms").Text))');
                    $("#small-searchterms").focus();
                    event.preventDefault();
                }
            });
            </script>
        }
        @if (Model.AutoCompleteEnabled)
        {
        <text>
            <script type="text/javascript">
                $(document).ready(function() {
                    $('#small-searchterms').autocomplete({
                            delay: 500,
                            minLength: @(Model.SearchTermMinimumLength.ToString()),
                            source: '@(Url.RouteUrl("ProductSearchAutoComplete"))',
                            appendTo: '.search-box',
                            select: function(event, ui) {
                                $("#small-searchterms").val(ui.item.label);
                                setLocation(ui.item.producturl);
                                return false;
                            }
                        })
                        .data("ui-autocomplete")._renderItem = function(ul, item) {
                            var t = item.label;
                            //html encode
                            t = htmlEncode(t);
                            return $("<li></li>")
                                .data("item.autocomplete", item)
                                .append("<a>@(Model.ShowProductImagesInSearchAutoComplete ? Html.Raw("<img src='\" + item.productpictureurl + \"'>") : null)" + t + "</a>")
                            .appendTo(ul);
                    };
                });
            </script>
        </text>
        }

        @Html.Widget("searchbox")
    </div>
}
