Stop Certain Products in Search Results?

[Riplees]

I use a "dummy product" with "Description only, useful for inserting messages" template to add extra information, so it is not for sale! I dont want these appearing in the search results.
How can i do this?
Many thanks

Hi Anita

I'm afraid it's not possible at the moment to hide individual products/sections from the search. You could only use words that would not be search requests elsewhere in the catalogue and then add them to the stop list in View | Search Settings.

It's been entered a few times on the wishlist, so I'll add your name to highlight the request.

thank you, definitely would be a great help to have the choice of hiding products.

Is it possible to change the minimum values in the Search Settings, Search Options, Price Bands columns?

I want to have a minimum band of 0.01 to 10.00, and so on, in order to eliminate my dummy products (priced at 0.00) from appearing in the results.

Many thanks
Anita

I vote for this too. I created a band from 0.00 to 0.99 to eliminate that problem. I have no products in that range and few customers will try to search for something that cheap (I hope).

I used the price range control, and only put in one row - with a maximum of £0.01.

This generates the following HTML:

<SELECT NAME="PR" SIZE=1>
<OPTION VALUE="-1">Any
<OPTION VALUE="0">£0.00 - £0.01
<OPTION VALUE="1">£0.02+
</SELECT>

Go to 'View | Search Settings' an de-select 'Catalog Maintains Search Page'. Now edit 'search.html' within your 'SiteHTML' folder and replace the <select> box above with...

with

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

Then FTP up search.html manually to the acatalog folder.

!Selecting Price = 0

Have we got any method to stop selecting anything where the price is zero on price bands? Is it possible to select the first band from 0.01 - 9.99

Is this hard coded? or can we 'tweak it?

Hi there

Is it possible to select the first band from 0.01 - 9.99

No, i am afraid it is hard coded at the moment.

Kind Regards

Hiya

Hardcoded?

Can we ask for it to be Softcoded in the settings on the next release?
