Advanced Search on Catalog Pages

[AppleSound]

How can I include the advanced search on my catalog pages?

I currently use NETQUOTEVAR:SEARCHBODY on my acatalog/index.html but it doesn't work for any other acatalog pages.

Thanks.

Sadly, Actinic currently will not allow you to just drop this variable where you like. You will need to include the full HTML for the search tool into the pages, rather than the variable.

Here's another approach: NETQUOTEVAR:SIMPLESEARCH can be used in Act_Primary.html so you can make a text field appear on pretty much every page. You can also add extra search tools into Act_SimpleSearch.html to create a more sophisticated search.

Chris,

Is it possible then to include Price ranges and Product Properties in the SimpleSearch?

If you have a look at the Act_SimpleSearch template then you will see that the price range variable is present, but hidden:

<input TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="PR" VALUE="-1">

You can hard-code in a price range control, and you could probably put in a section control as well (but I cannot say this for sure).
