Search not appearing

Postby nwyrktodd » Fri Mar 23, 2012 4:27 am

Hey I followed the video tutorial for shopsite manager to embed the search engine to the web page. IT never showed. I grabbed the code from the Custom Template Cookbook. See my site http://von-nyc.com/store

Did you enable the pages to be indexed for search on Pages > Edit Page Info .
Did you assign at least one ShopSite generated page to have a Search Form that is also on the Pages > Edit Page Info screen.

The two fields that configure the search on pages are near the bottom of the Pages > Edit Page Content

Product Search Field: [ ] Check here to add a product search field to your page.
Index: [ ] Check here to have this page indexed for product search

At least one page ShopSite generated page must have the Product Search Field check box checked or the page generation code won't put the search field on pages. The Index field is used to say that the products on this page should be indexed for search.
