Variable in Search Reulsts

[mattc]

I have a variable call 'YouSave' which contains the percentage saving for each product. I want this information shown in the search results, e.g.

Item Picture
My Price
Saving: ***%

replacing *** with 'YouSave'

ive added it to "StandardSearchResult' and tried this both inside and outside a block - but it doesn't show up in the results. Any ideas?

It is possibly the "%" sign causing the issue as this has special meaning in Perl... have you tried it without the "%" to see if it works first?

[mattc]

the % sign isnt in the variable value, its in the markup

Won't work that easily. Most variables are for use on the static HTML pages and aren't available to the search scripts.

However this complex idea ( http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=31559 posts 8 and 9 ) shows how to turn the search results into a list of normal buyable products, so you could use that.
